CP 170 continues to impress railfans as seen here with a matching four pack of blue and yellow units. The train was supposed to have a meet here at Dickenson, but they got the light to South Haven at the last minute which resulted in hearing all four units roaring up in notch 8. The picture doesn't do justice as to how awesome it was to hear and see. |

| Description: |
Due to potential floods, some UP traffic ran on the CP. Here we see what could have been a few years ago, however I have no clue what the ID was on this train. |
