Am I Dreaming?? Pair Of BN SD40-2's On Hot CP Stack Train 182 At Lake Forest

I received a heads up the night before, that CP 182 would have a pair of BN, green SD40-2's for power. Granted, they are now marked for their leasers (HLCX and NREX), but to me, this is just as good as when they were with the BNSF. 8139 is in charge, followed by 7275. The tree colors go along real nicely with the BN green. Considering that 182 is a hot stack train (Minneapolis, MN. to Bensenville, IL.), a pair of SD40-2's was really cool and it was even cooler that they were both BN.

No horn for the crossing?

@UnionPacificRules: Quiet zone, unfortunately.

Great catch man,you don't see that all that often with all the pumpkins running ahead...it sucks that many areas around chicago and suburbs have quiet zones,still that's blast from days past

@fnm9908: Thanks! Yeah, it's becoming a sight for sore eyes, unfortunately. Hopefully, with CP being the land of SD40-2's, it continues to happen more and more. Sadly, a whole bunch of areas around Chicago have been plagued with the quiet zones. If you get lucky, the engineer will honk for you.
