Canada's oldest...

According to the Canadian Trackside Guide, this is the oldest snow plow still in service. CP 400879, 1910 model, is assigned to Bredenbury, SK. Her he is on the tail of a W/B manifest, most likely on his way to Alyth or Moose Jaw for servicing/demolishion. Compared to the local Wilkie/Sutherland snow plows, he easily stands out with those "lined" wings. Note the air hose connecting from the TTX IMS flat over the front coupler.
Just coming into Sutherland to get a mechanical inspection done before returning to Bredenbury for the winter. Wilkie's plow went to suterland on 456 about a month ago and returned on 457 a week later. Just in case we get the blizzard like last year.
