Westbound on the UPRR Salina Subdivison 04 Nov 2022
On a chilly, damp, grey day the CP 7014 Heritage unit leads a westbound empty 111 car 3-bay covered hopper enroute to Salina, KS via the UPRR Salina Subdivision and ultimately Wakeeney, KS on the UPRR Sharon Springs Subdivision

Very nice. I am not at all versed in “real life” train operations to know the significance of your description, but I do see a well-composed image of a handsome locomotive. “Heritage” means old? Being retired? Thanks for sharing.

Normally, I would be surprised to see a CPR engine as far south as Kansas. Not so now as I've read of their expansion moves into the U.S. market.
Nice shot.
Nice shot.

Heritage in railroad "speak" means to pay honor to prior railroads that are associated with today's railroad as a general rule. UP & NS have multiple units honoring the railroads that each has taken over in one form or fashion. BNSF did 3-bay covered hoppers for the railroads that it has taken over to form today's BNSF.
