KCS MW 902 is one of two exBNSF C44-9Ws converted to MW service by KCS after a group of 20 exBNSF units was acquired from GECX. (not to be confused with the other 50 C44-9Ws acquired directly from BNSF) Most if not all the other C44-9Ws have been sold or are off the roster, making the two in MW service qualify as "oddballs" on an otherwise all AC GE roster. It sure is weird to think of a 4400hp 6-axle GE relegated to MW service.

Here is a fine sight for 2025, three standard cab units and 100+ cars hustling down the mainline at speed. CP SD30ECOs 5026 and 5034 bracket recently repainted GP38-2 3058 as the trio lead a loaded unit grain train west toward Moose Jaw.

The latest addition to the switcher fleet at Evraz' Regina steel mill is spotted moving some mill gons around the north end of the plant. Truth be told, this unit has been onsite for quite a while, but trying to catch it somewhere shootable and in decent light has been a challenge.

Odd ball unit STL&H 1001 began life as SW1200 MILW 2026 in 11/1954. It went on to become MILW 631, then MILW 706 until eventually becoming SOO 1211. In 1996 it was converted into a slug and numbered CP 1001 until being repainted and becoming STLH 1001 in 1998. In this June 2004 scene at Agincourt yard, 1001 still had another 8 years of life left in it before being retired in 2012. As much life as a slug can have in it that is.

It's a perfect evening at mile 30 of Halton Sub as hotshot intermodal 143 drops downgrade with CN 2426 and IC 6111 up front. Both of these units are now off the roster.

A trio of BCOL 4600s lead a short train of OSB boxcars from the LP mill in Fort St John toward Dawson Creek to be unloaded, then reloaded with the same material after a finishing process was applied. This was during one of several slide-film-relapses I went through and was shot on a medium format camera (note the unusual aspect ratio), even in 2010 it cost close to $2 every time that shutter button was pressed. But a matching set of BC Rails on a perfect November morning was worth it.

Despite it not officially being Winter yet, Winter is here. A hefty 20+cm of snow fell this past weekend in Regina and much of Saskatchewan. I wonder how many harsh winters the lead unit on this 602, KCSM 4657 has dealt with over the years?

Despite the thick ice-fog, a four-pack of SD40-2s leading a loaded grain train on the mainline is worth going out for. CP 9021, 9022, 9023, and 5875 do the honours of leading train E08 into Regina from the Last Mountain Elevator.
