CP 9758 East
Title:  CP 9758 East
Description:  A Unstoppable Actor, now back to it's family is leading a CP Intermodal train. The trailing unit is a ES44AC. When it was a AWVR #767, it was called a helper unit. Well, that is inaccurate, all the units on the front end are lead power. But this was cool
