Steve Vallis was out shooting at CN's Symington Yard here in Winnipeg last week and took some photos of CN's GP38 humpyard units (see previous post about humpyard dogs).
On the 11th he caught CN 7530 and 7513 (with slugs) working the yard. CN 7530 is definitely looking grubby.
CN 7513, on the other hand, is looking nice and shiny.
While he was there, he saw a train come off the Sprague subdivision. Here it is at CN Navin, with CN 5600 (SD75) and CN 2433 (Dash-8). You can see the shiny new signals on the right, installed when they extended the switching lead through Navin.
Gotta love those Dash-8s!
On the 17th, Steve caught one of the newly painted GP38s with the "15 Years" emblem, CN 7505. They are celebrating the 15 years since CN was privatized.
It was part of a set with CN 7522 and slugs 511 and 502.
Great shots, Steve!

Nice shots, and what a variety!
Are there any manual hump yards with car retarder operators in operation today?
Duke, I don't know... maybe in the US. There aren't many hump yards still in operation in Canada and I believe they all have automatic retarders.
