Dresser Turn With Four EMDs |
Description: |
While in class today I got a text about a Dresser Turn with some good power on it. Much to my delight it had two ICE units, a CITX lease unit and finally a CP SD40-2. You rarely see a lashup like this anymore, so I jumped on the opportunity to shoot this train. We see the train as it starts to throttle up grade at Country Road F in Shoreview, MN. The lead unit is former UP, followed by an ex CNW unit, the CITX is a former SP SD39, followed by a true CP SD40-2. PIcture taken from HD video. |

Due to track work in Saint Paul, trains 170 and 171 now run all the way to Glenwood. It sure is nice to see three yellow and blue units on the former Soo main line. |
