My take of the CSX-CPR train Q165 with CMQ 9020 west, right after sunset east of Willard at Boughtonville, Ohio screaming along passing an eastbound on June 20, 2010.
I went out in hopes of shooting the Eastbound 504 local, knowing a BN and an ATSF were the power. BNSF used their big brain and set up possibly the worst consist I had ever seen. A crusty GEVO lead a MACe, BN 40-2, ATSF Dash-9, and three clean swoosh geeps from yesterday's LINHAS.
A small consolation prize was a fairly clean ACe on the LINDEN.
CP 9020 leads a CWR train east as they pass the approach to lake Louise signal, following 112 east to Calgary.
NS 9020 leads the former Columbia Star Dinner train east near Pendleton, Missouri on NS's St. Louis District. NS 9020 picked up the beautiful Wabash painted Columbia Star Dinner train set up in Centralia, Missouri then called NS train #957 and is taking it to Terminal Railroads yard over in Madison, Illinois where the Canadian Nation will take it from there and send it up north to it's new owner in Wisconsin. I'm just glad me and the misses got to have brunch on this train back when it was running trips between Columbia and Centralia, Missouri and back when we did.
