    Fullerton Sunset 4/10/07

    My last visit to Fullerton station was beautiful. The sky put on a wonderful display. No HDR processing (only had one exposure of this one) but I did lighten the bottom up using selection and levels.

  7. Scotford Work train

    Scotford Work train

    CN has an odd habit of placing cabooses where they don't belong. The Clavet wayfreight for instances uses CN 79924, assigned to train 519, yet there's no such train in the area. Similarly this one is stamped "Scotford work train", yet based on my research Scotford is hundreds of...

    CN Warman sub

    At one time CN's Warman sub was a vital part of CN's system, providing the main link to Prince Albert. Although it still serves this purpose today, most of the line has been sold to a shortline, meaning its a lot less vital then it used to be. Due to "strategic downtown...

    Our old view

    BNSF's "Mill Job" switcher works the Amerigas Spur. The caboose was used to pilot a reverse move of about a mile. The picture was taken from the backyard of the house we were living in at the time.

    Classic Times

    This photo shows a lot of history. You could look at the 87 year old Cascade Tunnel, or you could look at the old BN caboose that is entering the tunnel. This would be a typical scene only twenty years ago. This was a nice run in. A work train which is going to replace rails shoves into the tunnel.

    Sutherland caboose

    Until this year Sutherland had everything you'd want at the shops - a snowplow, TRACKMOBILE, switchers, etc. but still lacked a caboose. On July 18th, this old cab came into town, and has been sitting at the shops ever since. He is most likely a Regina transfer, as they had three sitting...
