JSSX 7000

I liked this closeup photo below and thought I should share it.  The locomotive is a GP40X. The high hood at the cab end makes for a nice change on the layout.  It was Sean Steele that said something to me several years ago about I should get a high hood engine for my layout.

Some might remember that I got this one a year or two ago, discovered it to be mechanically damaged, and went through some effort finding the exact trouble, then sourcing parts, and carrying out repairs.  Now, it's one of the smoothest running engines that I have.

JSSX 7000 hooked onto an ABOX type boxcar, now owned and repainted by CN

A view with the 7000 as it pulls the boxcar away from the loading dock and toward the JSSX yard.



One more look at the 7000, this time as it's switching high cube boxcars over on South Industrial Blvd.

I took a quick run down to the Sarnia station this rather dreary March 15th morning, getting there just as this train was slowly approaching.

A closer look at the colourful CN 3115

And a "going away" view of this General Electric ET44AC

 That'll do it for now.  Thanks for looking in.  Have a good week out there.
