4 SD45's on SORE 1 north today
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2006 11:16 pm
Today SORE 1 north had 4 WC SD45's for power, quite a bit for just 45 empty hoppers. I don't know why 2 extra SD45's were headed up to Partridge, but they were certainly not for extra power on SORE 1. L-540 power wouldn't make sense either, as today is Friday. It's a mystery move for me. Regardless, it's a rare thing to see 4 WC units together anymore, let alone all SD45's.
I chased them up to Rock, but only got 2 decent pictures due to the afternoon light. The train had WC SD45's #7501, 7523, 7502, & 7525, pulling 45 empty Algoma-Tilden all-rail hoppers (34 GCCX, 4 WC, 3 GIEX, 2 LSI, 1 BN, 1 DRG). The recent snowstorm last night has made trains kick-up quite a bit of powder as well.
I added a few other random pictures from various days to the fotopic site as well.
