Extra 1014's 82 photos on Railpictures.ca:

The grain extra today has the 4330, 4350 and 4351 up front. They are working on getting 55 loads of grain to Edmonton. A rather bland sky on this day but truck details sure stand out, which are usually so dark when the sun is shinning at midday. Time of this photo 12:00, location is at the mile 23.81 grade crossing.

This photo shows the CN train I mentioned in my previous 2 pictures at this location. The 5321, 5274 and 5188 make up the units. As the CP had already picked the most favourable route through here, you can see in the distance that the highway was built on a huge cement berm, a few metres above river level. It makes you think that being built right next to the river would have produced some unique challenges for the construction crews.

More empty hoppers on their way to be filled with sulphur. If and when first generation power came through town now, it was always in a trailing position. Time of this photo 8:45.

Literally, here is the tailend of the great train action at the spot I parked at. CP caboose 434346 brings up the rear of this train. When I zoom in on my photo, there are piggy backs with trailers on and lots of the old style container cars. To the right of the photo you can see the CN tracks. I had hoped to get both trains into the picture but by the time the CP caboose went by the CN train was already gone. Trains in the canyon, some of my most memorable train moments, whether it be taking photos, riding them or just watching, WOW!

Second day of vacation, now south of Kamloops and the weather is beautiful. This photo location is approx. 13km east of Lytton (as the crow flies), time is just before 12:00. The 5679 is leading with 5910 following and an unknown SD40. I saw this CP train a few miles back and started looking for a photo spot. Found this one, got set up and don't you know, around the bend and headed north on the other bank comes a CN train. Lots of snapping and smiles, train heaven for the next 10 or so minutes. :-)

What a lineup this is! 4607 Grande Prairie, 9100, 4330, 4338 and 4350. But all is not as it seems. The lead 3 units are for the sulphur train to Fort McMurray. The 2 trailing units will be left with their crew in Redwater as a work extra. Several of the lead cars are ballast hoppers to be left also. The units are actually waiting for the work equipment to get out of the way and parked in the Redwater siding so the road crews can do their work.

First day of family vacation and I'm primed and ready to photo some of the new SD50's on our way to Vancouver. It rained cats and dogs all the way to Kamloops :-(. I Did find this train at McMurphy and took pictures there and again at this rail bridge just north of Vavenby. The weather got better as we came to the coast but did not see many more SD50's. The 5404 and 5430 make up this pair, picture taken at 13:45.

Bit of a story to this photo. First, I was not even aware that I had an EXPO 86 5334 picture. I have a few very early slide boxes taken with an old Canon TX with a shutter issue. These pictures all suffer from some amount of underexposure. Had a look at these slides this week and WOW! this picture is in there. Dark but salvageable. Detail in the dark areas is lacking but the colour scheme helps to make up for that. Picture taken at the west end of the Diesel Shops, time 13:00. I hope you find my photo repair acceptable. :-)

Just for fun, here is CN truck N074091, heading out to do whatever. Sadly, what seemed like a fun chase, these trucks were the beginning of the end for the speeder. Not having a scanner, it was tough catching a truck on the track. I just happened to be downtown getting the mail and saw this guy leaving west out of Redwater. Picture taken at lunchtime. Give your stamp of approval with a fav, if you enjoy photos from the lighter side of railroading. :-D

A cabhop headed to Fort McMurray to bring home a train of sulphur. The lineup is the 5590, 9194, 9107, 9159 and caboose 79282. Picture taken just north of Egremont at 8:30. I hope you enjoy this going away shot. For me it has more appeal than my photos from the front. Yeah, I know, if you look at the edge of the road you can see that I am driving and taking pictures out the side window. Only did this a very few times in the early part of my train photo career. To dangerous, even if it is early in the morning and the road is empty.

This is a unit combination that did not happen to often. Although there were still plenty enough black noodle GP38's roaming around, having 3 together did not occur that frequently. They are still looking good for just over 10 years old. The trailing unit, the 5510, has odd rear number boards. The numerals are somewhat smaller than typical. There are only 38 sulphur empties, an easy task for the Hoghead and units as they head to Fort McMurray. Picture taken at the Kerensky end of the connecting track, time 8:30.

The 1065, 1069 and 4606 High Prairie are heading up the grain extra today. Not to often were GP9's mixed with GMD-1's, so it was nice having an old NAR unit as the odd one in the group. The ice fog that produced the frost can be seen lifting and dispersing behind the 1065's nose. This photo taken at the mile 23.81 grade crossing, time is 10:30.

An extra headed home with just a few loaded grain cars and some empty gondolas. The weather had been cool and cloudy but 3 GP9's was enough to go and try taking a picture. The units have managed to get a little snow dust flying. B'rrrr.

A train load of grain on its way to Edmonton. The 5607, 9105 and 5580 are the units today. Picture taken at mile 25.53 grade crossing, time approx. 16:00. In my opinion, this is when the painted window B units looked best. A nice big red cab tucked right in behind the 5607.

The crew has only just finished emptying 6 sidedumps about 1/2 a mile further up track. They are now done and headed back to Redwater to pick up the caboose. The 4294 is busy shoving in the distance. They will be back in just a few minutes with the caboose and headed to a point much further down track. Picture taken at the Redwater river trestle, time 10:30.

This photo was taken at the end of August, a rail strike had interrupted operations for several days, this being one of the first few trains since the strike ended. A cabhop on its way to Fort McMurray to bring home loads of sulphur that have been waiting. The units are the 4603 Fairview, 4330, 9108 and 4216. The time is after 18:00 and I am just north of the town of Egremont.

584 is just coming up to the town of Redwater at 11:00. Just a short train today. No clouds at all in the western sky. Perfect day for following trains.

9:00 in the morning at grade crossing mile 28.78. The 4702 has just recently been repainted and probably had a run through the wash rack before being assigned to this train. It really looks fresh. It is taking a string of empty sulphur hoppers to Fort McMurray. Unusual with just the single unit. The odd work train would have a single engine, the sulphur trains almost always had 3 or 4 unit combinations.

Photograph taken at the Hamlet of Coronado at 10:45. 30 loads of sulphur on its way to Edmonton. The 4300, 9163 and 4368 make up the power today. Paint on the 4300 is sure faded and weathered compared to the other units. Why were spark arrestors hit and miss with the GP9's?

Picture taken at the mile 26.62 grade crossing at 15:45. This shot was taken with print film (VR100) so the clouds are showing some grain, I hope the subject makes up for it. The units are the 9158, 9173 and 9104. They are bringing home 35 loads of sulphur to Calder yard. A lot of wild camera shooting this occasion, never had 3 F-units all headed the same direction drive by before. The 9158 is an odd unit (the other one being the 9166) that has louvered grills along the top of the hood. Yes, that is cropped pretty close on the right side (only a couple of mm to the black film edge). Unfortunately, the well cropped shots negative was destroyed when I took it in to have some large prints made of these units. Crap happens.
