How about 3!!!     It's a special kind of weekend I guess.

The C35 brought a good size string of empty cement hoppers and empty tankers out to Gap. After a recrew they they tucked them into track #1.

Then they ran light back to Exshaw to do a lift out of track #1 there. They take a diverging signal at Exshaw West and then will come back down the long lead to get into the yard.

C35 is told they're there for at least 113 (currently at Cochrane) and maybe 112 (meeting 113 at Gap). Lots of heads up is great.

Here's 113 crossing the Kananaskis River.

Didn't catch the scanner count at 42.0 but it's seems to be an extra long one.

And a long one it is. It's pulled into Gap siding (10,659') and is still sticking out the east end. 

Eventually I do catch the scanner count for 113 at 65.6 = 506.

Then 112 at Mile 58.x

Not as many autoracks as 100 this morning.

C35 will follow 112 out of Exshaw with a 3600' train - about half and half loaded hoppers and tankers.

Two fairly clean units in all of your shots . .  can't believe how CP could care less about their image . . .

Kicking Horse,

Great pics of those railcars with the track sections on them.  Also any idea what those containers are on DTTX 743030? Also nice pics of those blue United Rentals containers.

No, I was hoping you did. I don't think they are actually containers. If I zoom in on it, they look more like some specially constructed frame wrapped in white plastic. The signs have asian characters (don't ask which language) along with English. 

The signs appear to be

Nice !  Just like Poker, when it comes to SD40-2s, 3 of a kind always beat a pair !
