Locomotive: Canadian Pacific Railway EMD SD40-2	Location/Date of Photo: East Oakland Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA October 24, 2009
Locomotive No./Train ID CP 6045 Unknown	Photographer: John Fladung Contact John Fladung + Add to Favorites

Remarks: With the lower fall sun angle and the fall colors at peak a couple of SD40-2s rumble through East Oakland. It's been increasingly difficult to find these old workhorses out on the mainlines and it's always a refreshing change of pace to watch (and hear) these EMD's over the seemingly endless consists of GE's that rule the rails today.

Remarks: Amtrak 23 has been cut away from the train as well as some of the passenger cars. The Amtrak unit will take the cars cut away to the Amtrak Station in Saint Paul.

A bit later after this shot was taken the cars cut off from the train were moved to the Midway Amtrak depot. Here the SP 4449 is about to be put away into temporary storage for a week before continuing its journey to Michigan.
