Canadian Pacific train 528 with the D Day commemorative locomotive CP 6644 (get it 6/6/44) makes it's way through Putnam Station in some nice afternoon light. I have to say this may be my favorite CP unit, nothing on their roster is a cool as this and the special meaning it conveys.
Following on from the smew pair, here is one of the very handsome drake looking calmer. I do this these are my favourite duck/sawbill. Stunning birds - Mergus abellus

Au rond-point de Baumes de Venise (84)
Une sculpture qui représente le travail de la vigne, elle a été réalisée en 2002 par une entreprise locale qui emploie 2 ouvriers.
A flanc de colline entre les mains, la chapelle d'Aubune.
La chapelle aurait été érigée par Charles Martel, ou l'un de ses lieutenants, en reconnaissance d'une victoire des Francs sur les Sarrasins un jour à l'aube. Pourtant, la tradition populaire a fait de Charlemagne le bâtisseur de cette chapelle, malgré un siècle et demi de différence.

Canadian Pacific 6644 rests at Union Depot in Saint Paul on the evening of June 3rd. This unit arrived for the Union Depot Train Days event this weekend. The 6644 is one of five locomotives CP painted in 2019 to honor the armed forces in the United States and Canada. 6644 is numbered to commemorate the Allied invasion of Normandy, on “D-Day” June 6, 1944 during World War II.
Some unfortunate car problems left Dylan and I stuck at the end of the Plattsmouth Toll Bridge, right as the D-Day ACu passed, crossing into Nebraska.

Once the train hit Ashland, Highway 6 quickly turned into a foamer mess, with everyone and their grandma out to see this train. Even the BNSF cop was out at Waverly, although we didn't stick around long enough to see if he would be friendly or not.
Thanks to Sam's driving, I was able to lean out and grab a quick pace shot before we wrapped up the chase. This is the only shot out of the burst that ended up in focus, but I think it's a keeper.

After Plattsmouth, he wouldn't have nose light again until Louisville. We were able to make it there and set up on the west end of town with a couple minutes to spare, which gave us this nice elevator scene.

Recieved a headsup from a friend this morning that CP's World War II tribute unit was leading the westbound QNSABAR620L (NS Ashland Ave Yard, Chicago - Barstow, CA) I tracked the train throughout the day and headed out to the east side of town to catch it. Sunlight was fading fast when they passed my location about 20 to 5 this evening.

Heard that CP 6644 left Bensonville, IL at 3AM I knew it would be a night run on the Paynesville Sub. So I made the two hour drive to Wabasha to see the unit in last light.
