CP 420 rips through Palgrave sporting a large six unit lashup, including CP 8848, NS 9814, CP 8723, 5792, SOO 6061 and CP 3085. The NS unit provided a harsh imbalance in this sea of red, however I'm not complaining. The SOO was by far the talking point of this lashup, as it is the last SOO SD60 in original paint. Standing in weeds about four and a half feet tall, I'm glad I brought my bug repellent. CP 247 was waiting in the siding behind the camera while 420 passed, and it got underway shortly afterwards with a short string of autoracks.
