postheadericon Sun to Clouds and Back Again

Sun to Clouds and Back Again Tube. Duration : 30.00 Mins.


It was quite a day of railfanning around southeastern Wisconsin on Saturday, July 21 even though the weather (and my gear) didn't always co-operate. Train #1: CP 199 WB manifest, 7:31 AM CP 8828 (ES44AC) CP 9615 (AC4400CW) This train is usually solid intermodal/autorack, but today it had some general manifest in the mix. Train #2: CP 182 EB intermodal, 7:32 AM SOO 6035 (SD60) SOO 6061 (SD60M) I wasn't all too pleased with 199's presence messing up my first shot of this train, but at least some empty centerbeams allowed for a view of the power, and it was cool to see the Hapag-Lloyd doublestack containers passing each other.

Train #5: CP 484 EB manifest, 10:09 AM CP 8813 (ES44AC) CP 6241 (SD60) The former SOO 6041, overhauled and repainted/renumbered into the CP roster, trails on this short train. Train #6: CP 606 EB ethanol, 10:24 AM CP 8774 (ES44AC) CP 8794 (ES44AC) Train #7: CP 809 WB coke MTs, 10:27 AM CEFX 1020 (AC4400CW) CP 8543 (AC4400CW) I was ...
