Xena, SK

CN Xena is a useless station sign, located @ MP 135.5 Watrous sub. There's no town, no siding, not even a farmhouse in sight.

The closest town, Young, SK, is 8 miles away, with a population of 299.

This train has the honour of being the worst IMS on the line. I always hear him coming into town ~2pm from Calgary, then departing 4-5 hours later. What kind of an intermodal is this? Most IMS's just highball Saskatoon. The 20 hoppers mid-train give away its low-priority statue.

This is one of the few photo I've posted in the gallery that has not been edited in any way, i.e. no cropping, color/contrast adjustment or straightening.

It's just a siding switch my Dad used to work out there in the 80s. Don't diss the 114!

Sorry about the 114. Where does the siding switch go? Is it just a dead-end spur?

I'm not quite sure, but I'm sure it runs over to Young or Watrous and reconects to the main.
 
R
Now that would make sence. I didn't see any double-track crossing bucks between Young and Watrous though, thus it must be all gone.
