CP Portage-Madison turn, and some Einsteins

This is the only non-WSOR train you will ever see in the city of Madison, WI.

Fairly standard signal run at 0:14...the real Darwin Award honorable mention goes to the duo on foot at 1:38. Dumb anytime, but it's icy and slippery in the winter, especially when you run, and they would not have had much time to get up and out of the way.

Crossings are these:

More video and pictures of these two locomotives on this job...it's rare for this local to keep the same power for this long. Soo Line 2064 is one of a small handful of locomotives still in service in Milwaukee Road paint. They're also in my "train picture of the month" entry.
