The Canadian Thread - Hi-Res images

Wow:udrool:, great work with the photo-skinning. I've tried re-skinning some of his stuff before, not an easy task. If you don't mind my asking, do you think I could get a copy of that bad boy when your finished with it?
 
Today was an unusual day...we saw CP Rail testing out their brand new ES44AC's on the Death Valley Line. We would have taken more pics, but it was raining too hard and we had to go back in.

We start our day by watching a GP9rm contributing to global warming while shoving a train over the hump.

By this time, the operation is almost complete.

When it's over, we decide to head over to the engine shop to see what's idling.

The sound of a horn sends us running to the other side of the yard to catch a departing manifest. Notice the line of old GP9rm's in storage.

One last look at the GP9rm's in storage. Chances are, they may never be started again and most will be scrapped.

This picture is on a U.S.A route, but I like to show how Canadian Pacific power has gotten around.
