On April 26th, 2014, I caught northbound CP mixed freight train #475 as it approaches the top of Rutledge Hill in Ottumwa, Iowa, at West Rochester Street. Leading the train are two CSX units, CSXT 7706 (Dash 8-40CW) and CSXT 7552 (Dash 8-40C). Behind these engines, we see two spotless CP diesels, shining in new paint - CP 8713 (ES44AC) and CP 9530 (AC4400CW). These engines were repainted at Relco in Albia, IA, and were added to this train in Moravia, at the interchange with the Appanoose County Community Railroad (APNC), which accesses the Relco facility. The train is fairly long today, but apparently the two Dash 8s have enough power to pull it up the hill, since I'm pretty sure the two CP diesels weren't running.
