Title:  A "gritty" P42 for the last run of "Gritty Palace"
Description:  At the end of today's No. 7 is the privately-owned passenger car "Gritty Palace," reputedly making its last run before retirement to a museum. You'd think they could have picked a nicer leader...whatever happened to the ALC-42s after just six weeks or so of service on this route?

Description:  My DSLR's battery turned up dead, so I had to throw it on my car charger to get enough juice for this shot, so no photos of the Holiday Train shoving out and then pulling back in for the Portage show.

Title:  CP 8917, solo head end motor on 248
Description:  A sister is mid-train, typical of the blah power I seem to always encounter on other trains during Holiday Train chases. I never once, for example, caught something led by a SOO SD60 or ICE SD40-2 back when those things existed.
