NW SD70? Tongue [:P] show me this engine!

I'm not so sure this was a typo. NS, and predecessor Southern, sub-lettered their locomotives for railroads that they had absorbed or merged. The practice pretty much stopped a few years ago (except for the "PRR" ex-Conrail engines...), so I would guess that it wasn't a SD70, probably a SD50 or SD60.

Moving on... A tip from another member on the Wisrail group led me to Duplainville yesterday, where I found KCS 4007. It was suspected to be a UP heritage unit on its way to Horicon (WSOR paintshop), but on further examination, I determined that it is a KCS SD70ACe. I also spotted a CP train on my way out, with an AC4400, SOO SD40-2 774 (rare!), and SOO GP38-2 4449 (another one formy collection of SOO GP38-2s)! A good day for railfanning, even though it was COLD and I should have been working...

it was a SD70 had everything that a standerd cab SD70 had even the number 2524 and its not a renumbered engine.I was talking to a freind and he said he was running a SD40-2 and had D9-44CW under the number he says somebody has a since of humor and its just a mistake maybe they will change it.

Today I saw BN number 6777 attached to two NS engines around Harrisburg, PA. It was still in green/black livery. Paint looked very good too. I wanted to stop and get a picture, was at a good spot for one and I even had my camera with me but the wife was driving and she refused to stop so I could take it's picture!! Women!! Even the train itself was interesting. Some autoracks, boxcars, hoppers, tank cars... a little bit of everything.


EDIT Here's the exact engien I saw, with NS even: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=125862

The WSOR ran a supprise train on my today, running the Local train up to Reedsburg in the Middle of the day. Unfortunately I was in school, and I didn't even know the train was comming until I was on my way home from school. I only saw the train from a far, as it had already passed by the crossing, so I didn't get any engine numbers. But it was definately a WSOR train!

Last Night I caught the CP Christmas Train in Portage WI. I got a couple of Okay shots, but nothing great:

It was okay, but I think I liked the train better in other years, the Rope lights just don't look the same as the bulb lights. I did like the Chase effect though, and if they could just do that with bulb lights......
