  1. UP DPU

    UP DPU

    Someones misusing DPU capability LOL. Half the train is in the tow, the other half will be lifted down the line to form a typical '1+2' potash train, i.e.: Engine/62 hoppers/2 Engines/62 hoppers (119-125 hoppers in total) Normally this is done by two AC4400CW's up front (1 unit waiting @...

  3. GP38ACs!

    GP38ACs!

    The GP38AC is quite possibly my favorite locomtive on the CP roster, so I was very happy when I saw two of them! The SW1200 rebuild isn't bad either.

    CP 3000 in Port Moody

    CPR GP38AC, 3000, races westward towards Vancouver on a freight. 3006 is the second engine. Taken on June 10, 2007. The station was buit for and used by the West Coast Express. I was suppose to be taking pictures of my brother's Sea Cadet's end of the year ceremony. But, hey, it's not my...

    CP 3016 (GP38AC)

    Finally managed a good GP38AC roster, just before the Geep left town for Wilkie, SK. This is my third catch to date. He may be wearing relatively new paint, but the primer on the roof says he's an old unit, the oldest un-rebuilt series on the CPR. In case you're wondering what's behind it...

  9. CP 3014 GP38AC

    CP 3014 GP38AC

    Currently the GP38AC's are the oldest un-rebuild power on the CPR at 36 years old. However CP doesn't seem to recognize this, as they're being paired with the more common GP38-2's and not treated any differently. Furthermore, at least this particular unit had "AC" patched out and now...

    My first GP38AC!

    On one of my last railfan trips before leaving Winnipeg, I managed to catch my first GP38AC, that was visiting town. Although it looks very much like the more common GP38-2's, it is quite a different machine. For starters the GP38AC series is currently the oldest unrebuild locomotive series on...
