Dresser Surprise
Title:  Dresser Surprise
Description:  Well I didn't expect to see this today! My original intent was to catch the WC coming into town when I saw an approach signal at Victoria. I got out of the car, set up for a shot and a few minutes later, I heard the distinct sound of a CP horn. I was very pleased to see such a neat lashup on such an overcast day. One should note that the leader and trailing unit are both former Milwaukee Road units.
