Looks as tho the second unit (uncredited) might be a Norfolk and Southern.

UP GE, NS EMD, NS GE and 3 CN EMDs... Where those the SD40-2s know as Draper Tapers?

Best,

I thing those were SD50's-commonly called "barns" for the enclosed carbodies. A great catch!

Those stripes make lousy camouflage. Very hard to sneak through. That is why they were so red-faced.

Great shots.

Maybe 100 cars, but not all locomotives were running. I think the CN units were being moved somewhere. And the NS usually puts 2-3 locomotives on a train but will only use what is necessary to get over the road at the pace they desire...
