Strait 70s power |
| Description: |
Todays 171 is made of motive power that used to rule the rails back in the 70s. The 3067 is a former CNW SD40, the 6362 is former Milwaukee Road, and the 6090 is a former QNSL unit. Quite the heritage! |

Former Milwaukee Road |
| Description: |
A former Milwaukee Road trails on todays CP 171 as it comes in on the West Runner. I bet it traveled this route a fair amount of times back in its day on the Soo. |

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. |

Getting 30 more |
| Description: |
After airtesting an entire cut of cars, the four EMDs move over to the R yard to get 30 more empty rock cars bound for Dresser. It sure was nice seeing the 6362 leading! |
