Westbound |
Description: |
A CNW GE leads an interesting mix of power on a westbound van train. I had come to Cozad to make a pick up on an automotive load. It was scheduled to go at 1400 that day, so I spent most of it out trackside shooting whatever rolled past. I saw about 40 trains from 0800 til I went over to the customer around 1330. Of course it rained all day!! |

Oddball |
Description: |
SD 50s on UP were oddball units, coming from MP and CNW. This is one of the CNW units leading eastbound, along with a former MP general service SD40-2, note no dynamics; and an SD40T-2. Quite a power set. |
