Outstanding Saturday so far....
Author: rrartist

Well I can cross off getting the D&H 7304 in the sun as CP H20 did the honors this morning rolling into River Junction and again into La Crosse WI.

Next up CP 675 rolled into the CP yard behind the BNSF 7971, the DM&E 4005 was also tucked into the consist. CP H19 / 4 GPS - CP 3016 headed west past the Amtrak Depot behind 4 EMDs - SWEET! This was a combination of train H19 and ballast loads 4 GPS.

Moving over to Dakota MN for the KCS 4772 and CP 288's train, the second motor would have made a nice leader as well, CP 8139. Lastly CP H19 / 4 GPS heads for the Twin Cities departing the River Junction with a roar! The last train for me today was CP 471, CP 5046 - UP 3772, shown here switching by the Amtrak Depot here in La Crosse (WI).

I saw that ballast train on YouTube yesterday with just the 2 SD40s. I wonder if they died along the way.

D&H paint in decent condition in 2018? Didn't know that existed. And in the lead no less. Great catch.

How many D&H painted units are left?

Believe two.  The 7312 was painted CP under Harrison, the "B.C. OBrien" unit.
