[Editors note: First photos of this rare operation on rp.ca] Early 1971 on Harvest Road, east of Greensville Ontario, I was able to photograph one of the trains on the unique operation of the rock hauls for Canada Cut & Crushed Stone. These trains operated electrically with overhead catenary system, I believe was 600 volts. The trains operated between the pit on Hwy 5 and the crushers located on the edge of the escarpment overlooking Dundas. Loaded trains were run cab first and then shove back empty to the pit.

December 1973 the Fort Saint John has arrived back at Chetwynd BC after an all night trip to Fort Saint John and return. The John Turn left Chetwynd every evening north bound, setting off empty tank cars at Taylor and proceeding along to Fort Saint John. The crew would wye the power, build their south train and quite often take a meal break. Proceeding south with various loads of wood products, grain and other cargo, would stop at Taylor and pickup various loaded tank cars of petroleum products from the refinery there. After departing Taylor, the train would cross the Peace River and then the grind up a two percent grade to Septimus and then on to Chetwynd. The trips quite often were twelve or more hours on duty.

Train 570 on the BC Rail Prince George subdivsion, stopped at Hazard Rd just north of Dragon siding, late afternoon February 28, 2007. We were south bound and had a delayed meet at Dragon siding. Stopping well clear of a few public & private crossings I had time to dig out my trusty "powershot 85" and take a few images. CN 2225 was our trailing unit.
