Comments on: A trio of fresh SD70ACU’s (CP 7054, CP 7045 & CP 7055) lead a 140-car CP 253 over the St. Lawrence River. They had been delayed a bit south of here when a hotbox detector on CP’s Lacolle Sub warned them of a problem.

Thanks. Yes, I had given Ken the headsup that this train was coming with this power.

And as always Michael, love the “water shot”. Very nice colouring, and must admit a fondness for the “new” CP SD70ACU’s. There is something very striking about this trio, even if not in heritage paint scheme. Were you aware Ken Goslett was waiting 5 minutes up the line at LaSalle Yard waiting to photograph the same train ? Thanks for posting. John

I must say, I’m liking even the regular red ACUs. Nice catch.

It’s not just you, it says ‘horn cut out’.

Is there anything near the numbers of the 7045, or is it just me?
