OSR 1244 exits the CP Coakley siding and passes the beautiful searchlight signals with 3 cars after lifting them off CP H88. Usually this move is light power without cars as OSR delivers its cars for CP in Coakley and then wanders back to the Woodstock "yard" to find their cars. An Ex-CP unit in CP paint passing a CP searchlight? Yes please!

  1. Sometimes cp sets off cars in w.coak. probably what happened here

  2. Based on the cars and scanner chatter, I believe OSR took them right off the H88s train.

  3. Yes and that happens too :) All depends on timing.

  4. Also traffic impacts what they do, the autoracks are not normally on the Pickup but are set off in other locations. Naturally that traffic is way down.

    BTW the yard is called Jellicoe.

  5. Jellicoe? Who named that??

  6. CP.. a long time ago. Here’s a link to a 1948 timetable that has it shown. It’s still known as this today but it’s not in the timetable, it’s basically Jellicoe yard.

    Don’t forget that due to the Pittock Dam the mainline was also relocated between Woodstock and basically the Toyota Spur Switch in the 60′s. Coakley and W. Coak are later constructions as are all the signals in there.
