Train 451 NB past MP 22.5 at 2 pm with a CN locomotive leading CPRail 5046 which looked like one of their old SD40-2's with the extended short hood for radio control equipment for the old-days DPU operations across the Rockies. In the old days you never saw a CP locomotive on CN: hated each other too much!
