Yesterdays westbound Cardinal at Alexandria, VA



And a couple surprises on the end of the train.  Ex PRR Braddock Inn



And a ex NYC car.

The class unit of CP's Genset fleet (two in total) leads a much older GP9 on a Cobourg Turn. This Genset was retired May 24th, and its twin, 2101, is tied up servicable:

A number of CN SD70's, SD75I's, and a pair of ES44DC's are running around on CP for whatever reason. Here, CN 5705 trails CP 9590 on train 241 passing over the West Don River:

i think the Inn car is owned by the boys @ CP Hunitington in WV...  it is kind of a "parlor" car on the inside now...    MARC actually rebuilt it (ripped out eveything and put in a nice stainless kitchen) a number of year back...

makes sense it is on the Cardinal.  i think it goes through WV.  I think i remember them saying they use the Cardinal for their moves.

Yes, your right.  I found their web page which mentions their equipment and they had signs for their group on the side of these cars.  Was really great to see an ex PRR car.

I was in Lac Megantic, Quebec and caught a couple of MMA freights myself. Each one had a mismatched set of power. If I had a collection of random diesels I'd stencil everyone MMA and lead a prototypical life.

The whole Batten Kill roster was on display yesterday. Kinda spooky to hear an air whistle on a rainy day.

Well, since we're on the topic of the MMA...



That's train number 2 with leased CP SD40-2's on the Eastman treslte, on July 12th, 2012.
