i love the SD90MAC.....best train ever made......it's a very hansom engine

@traindude233 - the original 6000hp SD90MAC's (4) are up for sale in Calgary. Too many problems with them. The SD90/43MAC's are still running around. One seen in this video is a SD90/43MAC

I wonder what that caboose is doing there

[ConrailSD70MAC]

@daviddodgechallenger - it was being used as a pusher platform for backup moves down a spur. The conductor rode the caboose as protection against a few crossings on the spur.

Today, the conductor just rides the last car and communicates the engineer via radio.

Man I miss the multimark. It looked real sharp on the engines but specially on boxcars. It was a really cool logo that gave a sense of motion. CP new scheme is, well, a bit too red for me. Miss the action red too... and nose stripes... and MLWs... <<sigh>>

[ConrailSD70MAC]

@m640mlw - totally agree with you. I miss the Pacman and candy cane stripes as well.

That was a nice surprise!

I live in Kemptville -- Bidell is the closest stop.

Years ago there was a branch to Ottawa that passed not too far from my place.
