Sunrise |
| Description: |
The sun has litterally just gotten high enough to lit up the trucks on the 105 and 114, making for a nice shot. Additionally, the crew got here just are we did = win! |

Over the river and through the woods, the Nitrin Job goes |
| Description: |
The Nitron Job keeps up it blistering pace of 10 mph as it heads down the line and crosses a steel bridge that is almost hidden in the trees. Such a neat job with really neat power. Sad to think that these former Soo GP9s have very little time left on the CP... |

Rolling through town |
| Description: |
Two former Soo geeps bring the Nitron Job back towards Nahant Yard as it slowly rolls through the town of Port Bryon. The 56 year old GP9 has very little time left on the CP, and it will soon be either scrapped or sold to a new owner. Its pretty impressive that these units are pushing 60 years of age, and probably have millions of miles on them as well. What other class one still has GP9s running around like this!? |
