TCWR 4300
Title:  TCWR 4300
Description:  The TCW comes back from Humboldt, although without its other unit from the day before. I fiddled with Curves in my editing program, and really liked how it makes the colors. The only thing I dont like is how dark the tones are, but otherwise it made the colors much more true as they were.

CP 498
Title:  CP 498
Description:  I knew that this train was on its way, so after my first trip to Northtown, I went home for a short while and returned later in the day. I came back in search of only one thing, the trailing SD40-2 on this train, which is confined to Canada most all the time. Today it returned to home rails, plying rail on the old SOO Line.

CP 6608
Title:  CP 6608
Description:  A unit that rarely comes south of Canada anymore, returns to its former stomping grounds on Train 498 this afternoon. I have always wished for these to be assigned back on the SOO, but since that isnt planned, I have to hope for them to break away from the Canucks. Today that happened!

CP 291
Title:  CP 291
Description:  With a heads up from the West Hump, I caught a consist that pretty much anyone can like. Besides the main reason of coming down to see this train (the four CITX's), I thought It was funny that the lead unit doesn't have the bell uptop anymore, quite rare for a CP engine.
