A late running CP 182 rolls through Hoffman Ave with two BN green SD40-2s leading trhe way as it starts to rain. One could easily mistake this for a BNSF stack train. Green SD40-2s were still common on the BNSF even just three short years ago. Thanks to the CP being power short, we now get them in the form of lease units, I guess the BN still lives on in a way! |
