    Happy Thanksgiving!!
    For this weekend, here's the appetizer, the westbound Ross Local getting underway at CP2030 in June:

    The main course, a 9 hour late Empire Builder at sunset behind a freight motor from back in September:

    And for dessert, a somewhat tardy Empire Builder leaves Lonetree, ND is its taillights back in April:

    Northbound through Rockmart GA back in May 2015 - On a normally very busy NS Atlanta to Chattanooga mainline, this would be the only train I saw that day.

    Very cool! What pulls the southern US train? Interesting how CPKC has four different holiday trains, something I didn't know until just now. One for Canada, one for the northern US parts of the system, one for the southern US and one for Mexico!
