Western Railroad Discussion > UP "Big Mac" on CP 384

CP train 384 has the UP 3750 leading tonight as I caught train curving past Dakota MN and entering the River Junction Siding and lastly passing the Lock and Dam just north of La Crescent MN.

Nice catch of the "Mac" on the point.

On June 15, 2018, Author "830 east" posted a heads up of UP 3750 leaving Portland on the point of a empty Canadian grainer. A day later she passed my house at Vay, Idaho, headed North to Canada. Looks like she's on a scenic cruise, and still on the point, although she dumped her dirty red companions. Just for fun, we should keep track of her, and see where she goes from here.

Nice shots. Thanks for posting those.

Let’s see if I’ve got this right: UP and BNSF power, operated by a CP crew, on former MILW track.

After the H engine went bust I always referred to the 710 engine versions as "fake macs" ;-)

Have fun, be safe,

I never thought I would see those two together. Nice catch for sure.

Awesome catch!

Interesting combination of Railroads involved.
Any ideas of how many SD9043mac's still have a window in the front door.

Very nice..!!  I like Pic 3!!

Many. Most classes of locomotives receive wings when they are in for a repaint, during which time the nose door is made the way UP likes it (windowless). The SD90s, though, received wings around the time they were reactivated from the frame crack thing, without getting repainted at the same time. So there are still a bunch with nose door windows.
