Rare

So I'm on my way over to get an image of the Pool/Viterra elevator in Moose Jaw today
and look what I find...It is a very rare site to see the P & H yard engine out in the open.
From a distance the paint job looks like a C.P. engine from the 60's and this was near the C.P.
yards so it had me fooled for a minute or two. Did C.P. paint up another engine I ask myself?
I know the image is not creative at all but I had to "Sneak" in for this shot and hide from a guy
cutting the grass.....Don't tell officer Larkin......

Good Ol' 8454. Nice greens and golds. (And you're right - they normally keep it tucked away; especially when I shot it last Dec and having to sneak in the snow then.)

I've seen many a P&H terminal, but never the yard engine...good thing that tick season is over and done with :).

I'll never tell! I love the golden light in this shot....isn't it fun to sneak around in the grass? Gets the heart pumping! Go, Mikey!!!!!

Be careful sneaking around, Mike. You might be mistaken for a coyote...or a corporate spy. =)
