Still At Pine Bend |

This CITX veteran unit is still a Pine Bend a year after I first photographed it here. This unit is no doubt one of the yard goats on this, the southernmost surviving stretch of the Chicago Great Western main line. |

Exiled To The Dead Line |
| Description: |
CP 3027 was down near the diesel house at Pigs Eye early on a Sunday evening. The good paint and intact numberboards seem to indicate this Can Pac vet is still active, but since she was the tail end of the dead line, she might have rolled her last miles for CP on the eve of CPKC.not know whether or not she has a future on the Canadian Pacific Kansas City. |

The Deadline Remains |

The deadline at Humboldt Yard, containing the last Soo/Milwaukee "Bandit", 2010 (at far right) remains even as the hours count down until Canadian Pacific Kansas City comes into being. How much longer will these units put out to pasture be able to soak up the sun on lovely days like this one until they meet their destiny? |
