People take signals like these on the CPR at Eldon, Alberta for granted until an obsolete model starts to disappear. In the meantime they do their job around the clock in blizzards, scorching summer days 24/7/365.
Freight railroads are becoming more isolated. When I first visited the CPR through the Rockies near Banff 30 years ago railfans had easy access to trackside following paths blazed by signal maintainers and track workers. Railroads all over North America, driven by liability concerns and the...
Pole lines are disappearing across North America. How much longer for these roadside signals near Ozada, Alberta? The Rockies were here many years before the CPR. The Rockies will still be here when the signals are long gone.
CP 9815 has the honors again to haul this wonderful train across Canada and her sister 9824 does the same across Northeast USA Southern Ontario, Soo Milw and DME track.
A rare lashup of CP 5910 9022 and SOO 6060 are P34's power today and 348 powers the next day along with 9118 that was picked up in Winnipeg for the trip to Thunder Bay and back.
CP 3060 with two others behind the leader are about to grab the final two strings of cars and head home to Brandon after doing a brake test. These loads will be grabbed along with the kilarney turn to head to Thunder bay as CP 348.
CP 104 is waiting for a clearance to Bredenbury Subdivision, units 9137, 8600 with 77 cars. Hopper cars, centre-beam lumber, tank cars,
stack well cars.
Finally getting up to the mainline got me a chance to catch some of my favourite units on the system and that is the SD90/43mac. CP 9160 and 9129 are stopped at Moosomin waiting for CP 112 to go around a stopped 341 at Rotave siding. This train is a very lengthy 212.
My favourite GP38-2 on the CP roster because I have spent some of my favourite moments of my life on this engine when I was younger as she 3118 and 3121 would come out to Redvers every other day on the storage trains. CP 3119 has pulled into town with 58 cars for viterra.
