One of the mini Loram trains dawdled up from Chappell Junction and made several passes over the siding switches. Then he went into the siding to wait for a freight train.
CN 15016, Everybody's favorite rebuilt RDC inspection car, came to Riverview. While in the area the RDC was coincidentally assigned to cover the route of VIA 680, the oldtime RDC sevice from Regina to Prince Albert, making trips over the Warman, Watrous and Craik Subdivisions in proper fashion.
This is from sometime around 1972, and it looks to be taken at Riverview of all places! I found it as part of an old club roster at school. This seems to be running with an SD40, GP9, SW1200, and GMD-1...Consists musn't have been very uniform back then!

From MP 189.40 Watrous sub
12:25pm CN 402, 88 cars
CN 2307-8008-5610-5257-2616-5511
ES44DC/SD70M-2/SD70I/SD40-2W/Dash 9-44CW/SD60F
Except for the SD50F, Dash 8-40CM & GP40-2LW, all of whom have fallen out of favour, nearly 35 years of CN mainline units are present...
CN 4782 has CN 9531 to assist today. I'm sure the crews will jam a GMD-1 in again one of these days. He called himself the 560, but he got his track warrant as the 520. Lot more to the train today.
CN SD40-2W 5250 and BCOL 4543 pull out of the Riverview siding after meeting counterpart CN 314. After the routine crew change and switch lining, CN 303 will take to the Warman sub. The CN 520, who is waiting on his heels, will then go back to the yards.
My second run in with the CN 2225. He heads up the Cosco train from Prince Rupert. He was right behind 302, and he stopped at Riverview to wait for the block to clear. After that, he took off on the main to clear for the 357.
CN "Work 903" is the special guest at Riverview tonight. CN 2533 and 6019 headed up a collection of Herzog ballast gondolas to Watrous in failing light.
Happens to the best of us! Now that the CN 8800s are common as wheat out here, I can't say this train is 'special' or 'unusual'. But, the new power was just too cool. It's strange to see them on the 450.
CN 2452 is the second-last Dash-8 for the CN, the last being 2454. Built most likley in December of 1992, this locomotive is practially the exact same age as myself. Here we see it hulking the 357.
4:10pm CN 357, 94 cars
CN 5682-5541-5433 (CN-zebra-zebra)
91 center-beams/3 autoracks
One of those draper's better be dead, as all the other trains I've seen on CN lately had two engines, yet this lumber empties gets a trio of pretty good power.
CN 630 tramp job (CN Industrial, MP 188) heads home with 5 cars, slowly following CN 347.
2:43pm
CN 1434-1412
hopper/flat/gondola/2 tankers
I used to see 1434 all the time in Winnipeg across the street @ Fort Garry Industrial Park/Manitoba Sugar site/Fort Rouge yard job. Now he has been...
