| Description: |
Shoving into the Commercial, EJ&E gives a splash of color to the Transfer today. It was only three years ago when the WC 7495 plied these rails, which was my highlight of the summer. This gives a bit of the same feeling, as this is the FIRST time an EJ&E engine has ever been at New Brighton. |

I remember the first day I got my new digital camera in the summer of 2005. Went up to New Brighton to test it out, and how bummed I was to find no WC power on the transfer. Only a worn SD40-2W and two IC 61XX's. And now look at me, happy to see one of these every chance I can get, which soon wont be at all. |

The new era of the "WC Transfer". BC Rails, EJ&E's, and the somewhat common IC SD70's are the power to watch for. What a change from even a few years ago, when one could still shoot WC SD45's, IC SD40-2R's, and the ubiqutous WC and GTW Grey SD40-3's. I sure miss those days.... |

CP 293 |
| Description: |
Usually I would run away from a consist such as this, but the circumstances got the best of me. CP 293 took the Saint Paul Sub up to Cardigan, and now is running on the former SOO Line Mainline. To add to the special occasion, SOO 4400 is along for the ride as well, travelling a path that it was once quite familiar with. |

L506 flashback |
| Description: |
The last time I shot the 5305 was nearly five years ago, sitting right here with the WC 6596 trailing....To see three old CN EMD's down here in 2010 is one amazing sight, to say the least. |

I remember how terrible this thing looked in 2005, but since then it hasn't gotten much worse. |
