While on my way to work I noticed the tail of a CP EB clearing thru Lovekin and made a quick detour at Westlyville. The morning fog mixed with the late sunrise made for abit of interest to an otherwise boring train.

After a looong wait all day from first hearing about a chance to see a SD60 in good light. I set out to wait it till the sun was gone. Nearing 8pm they cleared signal Port Hope east and I was about to shoot it how I planned. Somehow, with my luck I managed to bag it.

Ponad pięćdziesięcioletnia lokomotywa CP 1461 z pociągiem IR 21860 z Pocinho zbliża się do stacji końcowej Porto São Bento.
Porto São Bento to stacja czołowa oddana do użytku w 1916 roku, zlokalizowana w centrum miasta. Wnętrze budynku dworca jest bogato zdobione płytkami "azulejo" przedstawiającymi historyczne wydarzenia Portugalii.
Lokomotywa na zdjęciu jest jedną z sześćdziesięciu siedmiu lokomotyw spalinowych powstałych w latach 1967-1969. Pierwsze dziesięć sztuk powstało według projektu English Electric w zakładach The Vulcan Foundry w Anglii. Pozostałe egzemplarze zbudowano w portugalskich zakładach Soreframe na podstawie licencji. Serię 1400 zaprojektowano w oparciu o serię brytyjskich lokomotyw class 20.
Zdjęcie wykonano z najmłodszego mostu łukowego na rzeką Douro "Ponte do Infante" łączącego Porto z Vila Nova de Gaia.

CP 6222 and 6043 were in charge of a CWR dropping rail on the Paynesville Subdivision yesterday. Love the look of the new CPKC paint scheme, it works well with these SD60s. It's also neat that everything on this train looks brand new, including the cars and the rails.
CP 223 has a trio of GEs (CP 8604, CP 8845 & CP 8059) as it crosses the Eastman trestle with a long train.
The only red GEVO in the lineup, which doesn’t make it any better, but means you’ll only have to close your eyes once ;). In all seriousness, with conditions like this, I mostly just pray it’s not a pissbrick because just about anything else can be managed.
By now, many of you should be familiar with these trains. As of right now, the CP traffic makes up about two to four out of every 10 trains on the Portland Sub. Obviously this number fluctuates month to month, but it’s safe to say that roughly 20% or more of all traffic comes out of Eastport. This number has risen quite a bit in the past few years.
Back in 2018, Canpotex—the company that produces and ships potash out of Canada—completed a $150 million upgrade to Terminal 5 at the Port of Portland. The company said the upgrades would result in a capacity to export up to 7.5 million metric tons of potash annually. In August of 2024, UP published on their website that they had completed a record number of shipments of potash out of Terminal 5 in the second quarter of the year, but it gave no official numbers. The only statistic given was that Portland exports roughly 20% of Canpotex’s annual potash supply, which is “more than 13 million tons.” This didn’t seem to add up, or perhaps they were old numbers on their website, so I did some more digging. On the Port of Portland’s website, I found yearly export statistics going back to 1994. In 2024, listed under “Mineral Bulk Tonnage,” the port exported 7.59 million metric tons (8.37 million tons) to ocean going vessels. This was the third time they have eclipsed 7 million metric tons exported, and the first time since 2019. However, I’m unsure if this includes the soda ash trains out of Wyoming that are exported through Terminal 4, and being unsatisfied with the answer, I did some basic calculations.
Based on information I have, the trains run in sets of 189 (UP’s website says 188, but their computer says 189, so who knows) and are roughly 27,000 tons each. Numbers I found say that they export “more than a dozen trains per month”, which means UP probably exported somewhere between 4 million and 6 million tons of potash through Terminal 5 in 2024. That puts the train count somewhere between 15-18. I’ve also heard Canpotex wants to increase the train length closer to or even over the 200 car range, which would push these trains to 9500 feet in length. I’m a numbers guy so I found this all to be fascinating, though perhaps some of you find this to be rather abhorrent.
As for the grain trains, like the one pictured here, it’s harder to find information. Unlike the potash trains, these do not come from a single customer, and I would assume they come from all over the CPKC system. Perhaps someone out there has more information about how this handoff works or how the contract for these trains work, if that information can be shared.

CP 4406 brings the 250 down Soo Line Junction and has just a few miles to go until it get to St Paul Yard on this damp morning. The smoke is from a nearby bonfire someone made this morning.
Snow-covered CP 8605 brings up the rear of CP 112 as it approaches its terminus of Lachine IMS yard.
CP 7018 and KCS 4813 are the head end power of CPKC loaded grain train G390 bound for Cuautitlan, while CP 8761 was the rear DPU. The train was tied down for the night at the territorial limit (KCSM/FTVM) due to a small stretch of linea A being OOS, as soon as we were arriving at Huehuetoca we heard the dispatcher give 7018 south authorization to enter via Morelos and continue south so a quick U turn had to be done and we got set at the Morelos-44.
This, sadly, was my one and done catch of it as early morning traffic jam made it impossible to chase it farther south, oh well!
This is also the first CPKC train I shoot after the merger, not a bad start eh.

CN power brings 66R east into Loudonville after waiting on a maintainer to clear late in the morning on the first day of March 2020. While the eastbound signal bridge in the distance isn't very common, the PRR dwarf in the foreground is just one of two left in service on the Fort Wayne Line and may be one of the only left active anywhere on NS.
Hearing that an oil train was heading up the Detroit Lakes Subdivision with an EMD SD70ACu, I was motivated to find it. It showed up neat Thief River Falls with about an hour or less of daylight left.
CP freight #904 passes Coakley siding, Woodstock, led by new SD40-2s 5815 and 5814, along with SD 40 5508. This train was often used to break in new power from the GM plant in London.
