CP 2264
Title:  CP 2264
Description:  It was a quiet morning after heavy rains, so I decided to check to see if there was any action at CP Welland Yard. No switching action - but I did spot these two delicious ECO units idling near the crew office. Too wet and muddy to hop the ditch for a less obstructed shot - but I still kind of like this "trains in the garden" look.
