    Where is John Knieling?

    John Knieling was one of those railroaders who understood railroading in 1950 was going to die. Is he still here to enjoy CP 8505 leading a solid westbound train of double stacks in a 2x1 power configuration around Morants Curve?

    Silent Sentinels of Safety

    People take signals like these on the CPR at Eldon, Alberta for granted until an obsolete model starts to disappear. In the meantime they do their job around the clock in blizzards, scorching summer days 24/7/365.

    Locked Out

    Freight railroads are becoming more isolated. When I first visited the CPR through the Rockies near Banff 30 years ago railfans had easy access to trackside following paths blazed by signal maintainers and track workers. Railroads all over North America, driven by liability concerns and the...

    The Timeless Rockies

    Pole lines are disappearing across North America. How much longer for these roadside signals near Ozada, Alberta? The Rockies were here many years before the CPR. The Rockies will still be here when the signals are long gone.
