Actually, with the recent merger with KCS, CP is no longer a northern railroad. CPKC now covers Canada, the central United States, and Mexico! This paint scheme will be fading in to history in the coming years. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

Photo ID: 109532 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, October 1, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed Evans (MP 48.3) Evans, CO 439 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific The South Platte River has receded considerably since May and June when it was nearly bursting at the banks! That was after near-record rainfall in the Spring. With things drying out the snow long since melted, the waters have decreased as a northbound coal empty crosses alongside US-85 just north of La Salle.

Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern merged earlier this year, creating CPKC (Canadian Pacific Kansas City), so it is not too surprising that the leased power has a unit from each road represented.

Photo ID: 109528 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, October 1, 2023 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed North of Brighton Weld County, CO 412 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Greeley (UP) Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Kansas City Southern A pair of CPKC units (one CP, one KCS) are quite a ways from home as they lead a coal empty north on the Greeley Sub. The train is slowing for the grade crossing at MP 29.99 (County Road 22). A previous train reported that the main lights and gates were working, but the lights on one of the gates were broken off and hanging down. Consequently, an "XH" order was placed on the crossing. This requires all trains to slow to ensure no cars are going through the crossing when they shouldn't. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
