Canadian Railroads > Empress of Eights on LagganDate: 08/30/14 13:38 Empress of Eights on Laggan Author: KickingHorse CP 8888 doesn't show up out west a lot and it's almost always on 198/199. Well not today; it's leading a westbound manifest (401?) and I caught it doing some switching at Exshaw.
First, it dropped some tankers into track 1 for the 2switch. Then it dropped some empty cement hoppers and GP38-2 3054 into track 2. Looks like 3054 is replacing 3040 (gone) as the west leader for the Exshaw switcher.
