    Gotta love the schemes.....Okanagan Valley Railway Colors, CKR Lettering, and OVR logo ! I was in the Okanagan back in December, and the 2506 is like that too, CTR Lettering and color, and CKR logo !

    Looks like either a propane or water tank that belongs behind a rail heater on a rail gang. Ours look a little more weathered then this one. Also could be a water tank for the section crews that follow rail grinders to put out any small fires created.

    Nice stuff Tyler ! I saw BCOL 744 behind 2530 on a WB mixed in Belleville Ontario yesterday. Took them almost 2 hours for a small lift of about 10 cars ! I also notice in your shot, it shows the 4600's slight frame sag. Alot of these in zoomed shots show the sag.....theyre not that old !

    Former CPR M-630 4563

    Former CPR 4563, a MLW M-630 built in 1969, sits on the diesel shop tracks in CPR's Montreal St. Luc Yard. In September this unit headed from it's home at the Canadian Railway Museum in Delson Quebec, to a station dedication ceremony in McAdam New Brunswick. I wish I saw these brutes hauling...

    Setting a Bond

    After a major derailment we installed a bunch of panel track, and to make sure curcuits ran properly, bonds were installed at all the joint bars. Here's a little spark show !
