A fitting addition to flare Friday (which is pretty cool.)Maybe we can call it Forty-Friday. My contribution is a SB Canadian Pacific manifest, north of Portage WI. Oct 18, 2014.

1. Of the snoot variety: KCS 680 visiting Pocatello, ID in 1992, snoot-to-snoot with a UP twin. Pocatello is still a good place to look if you're trying to find SD40-2's today.

2. Of the tunnel variety: DRGW 5390, 5371, and 5401 on the legendary "dirt train" at Mounts, UT in 2002.

3. Of the high nosed variety: NS (SOU?) 3231 snowbirding in Mesa, AZ in 2005. This was the only time I've ever seen six axle power on the the spur that runs south from Mesa through Chandler. I assume the usual pair of geeps was having technical difficulties, as they were parked on a lumber mill spur and the NS SD40-2 plus two SD60M's were working the line that day.

A single non merger painted 40-2 leads a westbound Santa Fe "extra Harbor" on the Harbor Sub through Harbor City, CA 3-88.

Thought I would throw in some MoPac from the late 80's. Not much TLC evident.
