Mainline Action from 1/9/2012

After leaving the UP LPA-18, we see Canadian Pacific's equally diminutive local, G67 out of Milwaukee, darting westward near Richwood to drop off its single refrigerator car at Reeseville. A pair of GP38-2s, SOO 4435 and CP 4422 (ex-SOO), are the power today.

Next up is Amtrak #8, the eastbound Empire Builder, seen just east of Reeseville. Too bad the now extremely stiff wind almost drowned out the S&HC from the engineer.

Back at Clyman Junction, an empty coal train heads east from Weston with UP 7177 and 5756 on the head end, and UP 6591 acting as DPU.

Then we return to Watertown, where G67 has arrived with a two-car pickup from Fall River and shoves into the clear. Eastbound manifest 282 comes by, powered by CP 9599 and SD60 CP 6225, a recent repaint from Soo Line 6025.

Finally, G67 heads for home and so do we.
