  8. Cloudy Day

    Cloudy Day

    The southbound PGSQ (Prince George - Squamish) freight about a mile and a half from the north switch at Garabaldi. Odd to see a B-30-7 leading a train where two or three big six-axle GE's on the headend are the norm. This power had worked on the Pemberton Pushers earlier in the week and was...

    Area 51

    Quite the climatic and geographic contrast to the real area 51, and with no U.F.O. or Elvis sightings, the only airborne sightings here would be dozens of Bald Eagles in the winter months. In this view the PGSQ is approaching mile 51 at the south end of the Cheakamus Canyon. The majority of...
