Another day's CP local T14 gets underway beyond the cover of wild flowers after switching out ADM down the spur to the right. While GP38s and GP20s may not be the most interesting power out on the road these days, a look beyond the red paint can sometimes reveal a little interesting history. The high headlight and 4500 number series on the lead unit reveals the unit was once SOO Line 4508. Dig a bit deeper and the history reveals it started life as Milwaukee Road #358. A rebuild a few years ago gave it its CP red coat and is also now equipped for remote control operation.
