CPKC Train with Soo Line Geep in January Rain
Author: Agent

Not the best weather to catch a train in, but I suppose it was better than if it was freezing.  I saw this morning the northbound mixed freight train CPKC 261 had a Soo Line Geep in its consist as it passed the web cam in Ottumwa, Iowa.  I decided I had enough time to go catch this train since it was very slowly climbing Rutledge Hill as it was "raining cats and dogs" as I heard over the radio.  Turns out I had plenty of time as while the train didn't stall as there was some concern about, it did stop to set out its second engine at Rutledge siding.  I took this video at the first grade crossing north(east) of the siding as the train was getting back on the move.  I shot it out the window as I had forgotten to bring an umbrella.

261's engines:
KCSM 4676 ES44AC
SOO 4448 GP38-2
CP 8621 AC4400CW
