Three 60s on CP 271
Title:  Three 60s on CP 271
Description:  On a cloudy and overcast day, a late running CP 271 comes rolling through Vermillion as it heads up the River Sub. The SD60s have invaded the former ICE trains, and while I miss the usual blue and gold EMDs, its nice to see the 60s in road service again. Also, while I love the Soo SD60s, these rebuilds look pretty sharp too.
