CP's one and only M640 4744 leads five big alcos on an eastbound freight. One of those shots you kick yourself for. My Brother skipped classes to to spend an afternoon at Port Hope. I stayed in class and never saw the M640 until it was donated to Exporail.

Four SD-40-2's spliced by GP-9 8663 have just crested the continental divide. Construction of the railway caused the creek here to have its path divided, hence the name Divide Creek. Half of the flow goes west towards the Pacific, the other half goes east. If you would like to change the world, you can take some water from one side and put it on the other.

An FPA-4 and 2 GM B units roll 11 cars west. My Brother's photo turned out better than mine. I was shooting from the opposite side of the train. My shot had some brush in the way.

As the westbound Super Continental gets serviced, a porter takes a break. A photo by my Mother of my Brother and I heading up past the escaping steam to take a look at the motive power. The rounded window on the car in the foreground gives away the cars Milwaukee Road heritage.
