Hitting the open road - a photo on Flickriver

Hitting the open road

            The ruckus of hard working 645 powered EMDs echos off of trackside buildings as LTA42 lugs a heavy road freight up to mainline speed leaving Tower CK, at the beginning of the Friday evening trip to Adams, WI. A good smoke show can normally be seen here as the train highballs east upon backing onto the CP River sub and the power clears the cobwebs after a long week of idling and low speed yard maneuvers.   

Rebuilt into a GP40N in 2017, the 1424 was originally a GP40-2, built for Southern Pacific in 1980.
