    CTRW work train?

    Where in Canada can one find an ex-CN SLQ M420(W) with a mix of ex-CP & ex-CN ballast cars? HBR in North Manitoba and CTRW in North Saskatchewan naturally. Not sure how this train got to Montreal, must have taken a wrong turn somewhere LOL. Just love such museum scenes - as good as seing the...

    CNW & CP merger?

    They sure have joined forces, if you believe this hopper. At least half a dozen in the yard, most likely ex-EEC's or GCCX's, CP has had many ex-CNW PS-2's go through wearing those reporting marks, most still wearing CNW's logo and paint. This way when UP takes over, they'll get their old...

    Recently I posted a photo of a CP hi-rail truck pulling two ballast hoppers: http://tinyurl.com/29gxgb This is CN's version of the same exercise, taken 3 years ago in Winnipeg (you can see the downtown skyline). Interstingly CP also had a PETTBONE Swingmaster at work that day, yet he wasn't the...

    For a couple decades Saskatchewan's hopper fleet looked like this: http://tinyurl.com/35m8d3 (Chris Wilson's photo). Now they are being re-furbished and repainted into this new sheme. You eyes are not deceiving you, his twin is right behind him on this Vancouver, BC - Humbolt, SK unit grain train.

    N&W classic in...Saskatoon?

    Recently CP has experienced a small surge of N&W hoppers in Saskatoon, i.e. 7 at a time. Most are still in NW colors, and a couple have been patches NS. This looks to be an older one, but I'm no NW expert to judge, as I've never seen NW before moving to Saskatoon, a bit ironic as this is far...

    RALSON-JEFFERSON IOWA

    I'm not sure who RALSON-JEFFERSON is, but I've seen such hoppers on CN before in the wacky IC 76xxxx series roster, which includes all kind of Co-op oddballs, ex-CNW, ex-Rock and other fallen flag hoppers not to mention CN & IC/ICG ones. Interstingly this one even has CP reporting marks!

    THB is alive...

    THB is well and alive... in Saskatoon? That's right, seen a couple of these THB hoppers already. Taking into account that the THB was taken over by CP in the late 80s its pretty remarkable its still around and not patched over by CP. Oddly enought I visited THB's home this summer: Toronto...

    The rear of a CBNS freight turns a curve as the train drives on the fine line under the hill and above the marsh that leads into the ocean. If you look carefully you'll see a road in the top left corner, I've railfanned that spot before; here is the other view of the same curve...
