a Lot of Motive Power on the Railroad

Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

On a lucky Sunday (mid-February 2017), I went out to gas up the car for the week. And I saw some CN parked over Church Street. A lot of power. The closer i got, i see 2, 3, 4, and more than i can see from street level.

I put up the quadcopter to get them all in one picture.
7 locomotives. From the depot to Veteran's Park and the Church Street underpass and the Soo Line 2713 Steam Engine

There's 25 cars for sand loading, and the rest of the train has some general freight.
I don't know how far it will go before they pull off the extra power. It's always interesting when locomotives get re-positioned for the week's assignments.
I've seen up to 14 locomtives on motive power transfers, but not in 12 years.
The good news is they are moving. I saw some pictures of UP storing 3 miles of engines now that some electrical generating plants have switched from coal to natural gas.
