288 changes crews in the yard
Title:  288 changes crews in the yard
Description:  Due to the yard being about the emptiest I've ever seen it, 288's activities were clearly visible from the south side.

A Study in Grime
Title:  A Study in Grime
Description:  The first orders of GEVOs hit the rails c. 2005-06, and this one looks like it hasn't been washed since then. It is one of the first 50 delivered to CP, which have mechanical or "real" bells.

DIT banana on 281
Title:  DIT banana on 281
Description:  These EMDX/Progress Rail SD70ACe-T4 demonstrators have been floating around the CP for a while. There are six on lease to CP, but they can't lead due to PTC not being set up. This one wasn't even running, just along for the ride, but it's the first time I've been trackside for one.

Title:  CP 7018 West, autorack/intermodal train 199
Description:  This one was already on my roster, but it's been a while since I had the opportunity to get one of CP's classy Heritage scheme 70ACUs leading, so after shooting the UP storage pull move near Evansville I hopped on the northbound I-39/90 for Portage.

CP 8709 again
Title:  CP 8709 again
Description:  One of the first batch of GEVOs delivered to CP in the mid-2000s, they were the newest and cleanest power out there when I first took up railfanning although I was never fond of this bland text-only "CANADIAN PACIFIC" red paint scheme that came on CP's. They've reintroduced the Golden Beaver on repaints starting in late 2017, but to my knowledge all the GEVOs remain in the as-delivered scheme.

BNSF GEVO coupled nose-in to a string of TTX boxcars in the yard
Title:  BNSF GEVO coupled nose-in to a string of TTX boxcars in the yard
Description:  Can't quite make out the number. Based on the heat distortion on the trees above the unit, it looks to be running, but of the heads ups on eastbounds I saw this day, none mentioned a tail end BNSF DPU.

Airing it Out
Title:  Airing it Out
Description:  281 gets underway following a crew change with the leader's nose door left open. 8151 was part of an order of AC4400CWM rebuilds released in late summer of 2019, and in less than two years of service has built up quite a layer of grime. In short order we will see some that haven't yet had time for that...

Spic and Span
Title:  Spic and Span
Description:  As has been plainly evident since the first orders of rebuilds started hitting the rails in 2018, they accumulate dust and oil streaks quickly, so there's a very limited window of opportunity to get them looking like this! This may well be only the second revenue trip for 8209 and 8208, the first being the previous day's 288. Notice the dust/mud already apparent on the plow/undercarriage, although nothing above the sill stripe...yet. It also appears they didn't bother to paint the exhaust vents on this order, since it was getting cooked off within weeks.

Go Big Red
Title:  Go Big Red
Description:  Title refers to a cheer said by fans of UW-Madison's Badgers, but could also refer to traveling by a big, bright red train such as CP 8209 (and its sequential sister 8208) on the point of westbound manifest No. 287, here changing crews at the Portage yard office.

287 On The Pull
Title:  287 On The Pull
Description:  Following the crew change, they started rolling west on the main. Thinking they were blasting off, I hightailed it to a crossing west of town but waited over half an hour. They must have shoved in at Three Light to work the yard. The scanner was unusually quiet, I never heard them tone up the Wisconsin Dispatcher on 161.520 for signal indication. Also, normally if a westbound is going to work the yard it will either take the siding or cross over at the junction and go in from the east end.
