Sunday Drivearound

by Aaron Hockley on March 5, 2006

I made my frequent Sunday morning loop this morning, heading over to Albina yard, then Barnes, then back to Vancouver to see what locomotives I could find. The catch of the day was a pair of Loram GP40s at Barnes (LMIX 110 and LMIX 111), looking very nice and clean in the yellow and black Loram paint scheme. I wasn’t in a position to get a photo without getting in trouble, so I didn’t.

The oddity for the day was catching a pair of AC4400s running long hood forward dragging an auto train towards Barnes.

A southbound UP Z train at the Vancouver depot had an interesting leased unit… here’s a cab side view:

As a bonus image, here’s a shot I took on the 2nd of the interesting variety of power parked at the Vancouver shops. I like the absence of orange.
