went to Spokane, WA this weekend and saw a train with CP locomotives pulling a grain train East through the Columbia Gorge, on the south side of the river on UP tracks. Is this normal? This is the first time I seen a train with only CP locomotives on UP Trackage.

From Eastport, Idaho to Spokane, Wash it is very common. West to Hinkle, Ore and beyond I'm not sure since I don't get down that way. On my side I see a lot of UP power running through the Crow to Lethbridge.

John,
UP and CP have a runthrough agreement over Eastport Idaho and they are both promoting the route. Business is up to about 3 trains a day each way vs. 1 a day before. I do not know how far foreign power runs on each participant, but CP power is regularly running to at least Eugene OR, and probably further since UP downgraded Eugene.
