  12. Off To the Work

    Off To the Work

    CN 560 heads out with the CN 4798. The track crews were putting in a new switch on the main near Lorne avenue, so he had to take the siding around the site. The CN 112 was right in front of him.

    The Last Saskatchewan TOFC

    No doubt they are still around, but sadly they are not so common around here anymore. A strange fact, as the American lines see Trailers as a more important shipment than Stacks.

    The Malevolent

    CP 1631 and 1621 violently smash things together in the west yards of Moose Jaw. Kicking cars is the method of choice, and even at 3 mph a single hopper banging into a consist sounds worse than a thunder storm. The sound travels well too, so you can hear it from several city blocks away.
