CP Rail Trains on the UP

[kuskanook135]

I have never seen units bounce like that at track speed !

I think its time UP put some money into this line and replace that jointed rail with some CWR,even if its relay off their mainline !!

@kuskanook135

The line has since been upgraded with CWR.

@funnelfan thanks for the update

I have a video from that exact same spot as 1:33! I still see lots of CP power on the line, but sadly no more red barns. Awesome video!

@mafarnz That's because CP has started to use non-tier compliant parts in all SD40-2Fs and some regular SD40-2s, meaning they are relegated to Canada due to draconian emissions legislation in the US.

@vonfinkelstein I figured it was just because the 40's were getting old and not used anymore, kinda like with BNSF and UP.

Awesome video, solid sets of SD40's in action red reminds me of my home town on the CP Rail transcon mainline in the 80's.
