Waiting Ballast Train
Title:  Waiting Ballast Train
Description:  The CPKC's Herzog ballast train, which arrived in town from Ortonville three days previously, waits at the west throat of Humboldt Yard on a humid, cloudy evening, (Not the best of shots, since I only had my cell phone camera, but better than nothing.)

Boo Yah!
Title:  Boo Yah!
Description:  "Boo yah!" I cried after snapping this shot of the CPKC train at Humboldt Yard. I thought I'd blown my only chance to bag this train, but lo and behold, there it was at the east end of the yard early on a Wednesday evening a week after I first saw the train! There are second chances in life, my friends.

Crossing Dayton Street, ready to line the wye switch
Title:  Crossing Dayton Street, ready to line the wye switch
Description:  After rounding the tight curve on the west leg of the wye, the train will run parallel to the Watertown Sub main for a couple miles before joining the double track CTC territory at Watertown West. The switch used to be in Watertown proper, but was moved following a derailment in fall 2015. Prior to that, it used to be standard practice for these trains to run the power around and shove out onto the main via the east wye switch before heading west.

Title:  Bright red Golden Beaver units look sharp in the late spring afternoon light
Description:  Quite (pleasantly) surprising to us railfans that CP began repainting their remaining SD40-2s early last year, despite them being mostly relegated to MoW/work train service (like these ballast trains) by 2018 or so.

CP 6017 leads 2WWA starting the pull toward the yard
Title:  CP 6017 leads 2WWA starting the pull toward the yard
Description:  This unit had eluded my lens until now, although my dad caught a video of it leading a 281 way back in May, 2010 when it was still in CP Rail System "Dual Flags" paint. That scheme was badly faded then, and the locomotive would wear it for another twelve years!
