CP 171, AKA Skittles         
Taste the rainbow! Two SD45 frames (former CEFX), a former GCFX SD40-2, and a Bluebird SD40-2 handle the 87 cars on DME 171 this morning. I couldn't believe my eyes, but I could believe that this would be the train which was heading right out of the sun angle....

Jordan Rein General I love the DME and ICE blue and gold, but I don't think I'd mind seeing this! I wonder where the displaced DME and ICE units went... 2/28/2010 8:53:27 PM
Josh Dulak General Love the shot, and I was upset about the horrid light that train ran in too. It originally was due to run the afternoon before, but something in Iowa changed that. I would love to see more of this on 170 and 171 the next few weeks. If you need any heads up on trains like this. I got a few CP connections. Just send me a e-mail sometime gp7117@aol.com 3/1/2010 8:34:48 PM
