Of the three, #3 for sure..only better if the CP train was going the other way (or if those were helper units and we could not see the headlight)

Photo 3 was my choice in spite of the unfortunate lighting (Photoshop can
easily remedy that). Reason was that I've been in that situation myself with
2 moving trains and you're trying for the optimum visual effect with some
informational component. The timing was good so there's a clear view
of the CP units and hopefully in the original image all loco numbers are
visible.
Composition-wise the track orientation leaves the lower right corner of 3 a
bit uninteresting. The composition on image 1 was good for trackage patterns
(fulfilling the rule of 3) but that lousy bridge reduced CP Rail info by 1/3.

I like the exhaust in 3, but it is too bad that it happens to cover up BOTH CP locos.
PS
Mike looks like John Ritter
