Hong Kong is such a busy city, and when it comes to blue hour and rush hour traffic there is so much energy coming out of this mad city. Loved it!
Was hoping Canadian Pacific's Northfield Job would be the appetizer for an appearance here by the INRD 90's, but, wasn't meant to be today, as they got tied down before crossing the river.
In any event, this is the CP job that delivers cars to Progressive Rail's operations in Rosemount and Northfield. This train used to run down and back daily, but, they've been reduced to one direction per day as of late.
CP 2216 is a GP20C-ECO, part of the first 30 unit order for EMD's ECO line, which essentially allows railroads to trade an old GP for a new GP with the original's emissions requirements - good way to work the system, and I hope it works out well for EMD, since they won't have a Tier 4 product ready for the domestic market until 2017.
Speaking of 2017, there are rumors swirling that UP's infrastructure improvements have this bridge getting replaced then. Not that anyone needed an excuse to shoot the Robert Street Lift Bridge, but, its potential imposing demise is a good one.
Keen-eyed viewers will also note the American Queen, the world's largest steamboat, docked in the background.
What's the first thing you do when you get to Las Vegas? Set up the tripod in the airport parking garage for plane trails, of course. Departures seemed to be on 19 which didn't line up with the Strip, so I shot arrivals on 19 instead. There are also some faint trails from helicopters giving tours.
The car trails on the right are taxis queuing up for the one taxi stand. It was an impressive operation.

The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan at Canal Street with Downtown Brooklyn at the Flatbush Avenue Extension. The main span is 1,470 ft (448 m) long, with the suspension cables being 3,224 ft (983 m) long. The bridge's total length is 6,855 ft (2,089 m). This is one of four toll-free bridges spanning the East River; the other three are the Queensboro, Brooklyn, and Williamsburg Bridges.
Happy Labor Day!! :)
