  1. RIMX SW1200RS

    RIMX SW1200RS

    Former CN 1339 & 1371, both retired in 2006, are temporarily resting on museum grounds. Last November they were shipped off to Progress Rail in Waycross, GA, I'm surprised they couldn't get a set of SW1200s more locally, off CSX perhaps. Not sure why air hose is tied around 1371, perhaps...

  2. Trains of Recession

    Trains of Recession

    Food prices are far more reasonable, but at what expense? This economic crisis is starting to get to the railway...I'm used to seeing trains with more than 45 cars! "Ex-Con" C40-8W 2455 is the trailing unit.

  3. Walker Fuel

    Walker Fuel

    CN SD70I & BCOL Dash 8-40CM get fuelled at Walker shops. Note the twisty rail in the foreground. Id probably be shot for taking a similar photo at the Saskatoon shops (recall http://tinyurl.com/69r8jh) side street access makes all the difference in Edmonton.

  4. For sale: GE 25T

    For sale: GE 25T

    #1501 worked for Alberta Sugar out of Picture Butte from 1956 to 1979, when the plant closed. He was then transferred to Taber, lasting there until 1997, relieved by Manitoba Sugar GE 45T when the respective Winnipeg plant closed. The unit was then sold to Canadian Railserve LTD, likely working...

  6. Altasteel GE 80T

    Altasteel GE 80T

    Previously Stelco 52, based out of Hamilton, ON until 1985. Dont let its 1950 build date fool you - this unit spots modern features such as a remote control (added 2001) & safety lamps/signs. He was parked on a dead-end track next to a crane (in matching paint), while an ex-CN Canac SW1200RS...

    CN 9000 (1948 F3A)

    CNs first mainline diesel, only 60 years young. Retired in 1971, hes the only remaining CN F3 unit. Rebuild brother GTW 9013 (CN 9171 F3AU) is in a museum as well: http://tinyurl.com/55mvvg The Alberta Railway museum has a unique opportunity to run an A-B-A F-unit set, all three ex-CNs wear...

  9. Wrecked CN 5307

    Wrecked CN 5307

    One of the many Walker shop jams, parked next to SD38-2s, SW1200RSs, a GTW GP9, BCOL RS18CAT & SAR B23-7, not to mention more common CN units. Not that long ago CNs last A-1-A 1000 series GMD1s were parked here along with more wrecked junk.
