  2. Dalmeny, SK

    Dalmeny, SK

    At one time Dalmeny, SK was an important railway town located at the JCT of Canadian Northerns mainline (foreground) and a northward branchline. You can clearly see it just northwest of Saskatoon in this 1917 map: http://www.vanc.igs.net/~roughley/cnor_map.html Today however its just a dot on...

  3. CN 548, apparently

    CN 548, apparently

    The CN 548 rolls out over the bridge minutes after the 560. After the 303 passes, he will go onto the Craik sub, and dod some stuff. He could be pulling loads from Davidson, but it's usual practice for power to lay over in town while the cars are loaded. He will probably dawdle back into town...

    CN 9671

    A former Patron of the arts, CN 9671 is unlike the GP40Ls, a GP40-2W of GO Tranist heritage, geared for 76 mile per hour operation. It used to haul the American Orient Express around. Prior to that, it probably shuttled crack Intermodals in the 1990s. Now, he accompanies road units in working...

  5. Craik Train

    Craik Train

    The Davison grain loads quietly crept into the hole on the tail of 115. On the head today we have SD50F 5458, GP38-2 4703, and GP40-2W 9671. He sat there waiting to be overtaken again.

    Branchline maintenance

    New rails along with ballast are added to the La Riviere subdivision. The branchline is served by a tr-weekly wayfreight, typically with two GP38-2's for power. Right behind me is Winnipeg's newest and biggest suburb, Whyte Ridge, although you likely can't tell that from the photo. To the...

  7. Winnipeg?

    Winnipeg?

    You can expect to see something like this in Saskatchewan, but this is Winnipeg. To the left (not in the photo) is a major suburb, the HWY and CN's mainline is right behind the camera and one of the city's busiest HWY's, Kensaton, runs by the cement plant in the backround. 3 GP38-2's, CP 3122...

    CP Geeps

    Two GP38-2's, CP 3095 & 3073, lead a branchline local. The train is crossing the CN mainline as it crosses the suburbs of Winnipeg. The power for the local is always Geeps, GP9u's, GP38-2's, GP35 slugs...
