Trackside Log for Tuesday, September 13, 2011

I was just about to take Missy for her evening walk but stopped short when I heard air horns in the distance. I went back for my camera and then walked to the tracks to photograph the approaching northbound.

  • 1739 Fenwick - CP 255 north - CP 8749-DME 6087-HLCX 8139-DME 6368

Both the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern locomotives were formerly owned, and subsequently re-owned, by Canadian Pacific. DME 6087 is ex-CP 5411, née QNSL 215. DME 6368 is ex-HLCX 6368, ex-SOO 6368, née MILW 207:2.

Not long after Missy and I got home from our walk I could once again hear air horns from afar. This time it was a southbound which I decided to intercept at River Road.

  • 1839 Fenwick - CP 254 south - CEFX 1050-CP 9658

Those two locomotives looked quite familiar. They were both on the previous day's train 247.
