Shape and speed.
The snowploughs have done their bit after an 8-10 inch dump of heavy packing snow overnight. The railroad now tidy's up its bit.
A very colourful group crossing the Grand River in Cambridge, Ontario. CP 8018, BNSF 6767, 7053, 7023, NS 4144
CP 8018, BNSF 6767, 7053, 7023, NS 4144 enjoying the sun that we haven't seen in ages as they head west towards London.
The windchill is -25, but the sun is out....so perfect. 135 kicks up a little fresh powder heading west to Detroit.
Before getting to New Brunswick, CP decided to give NBCR's new power a little tour of Southern Ontario. 132 took them from Chicago to Welland, 237 took them from Welland to Hamilton, 239 then took... (more)
