SD40-2F CMQ 9010 and Jordan Spreader CP 402998 are in the process of cutting away some soil and ballast on the north side of the main between Morse and Herbert SK on the Swift Current Sub. Perhaps prepping for winter and the subsequent spring runoff? I wont pretend to know.

The CN bridge over Maskuta Creek just west of Hinton Alberta is always worth a shot when in the area. Check out the water colour difference between the Athabasca river in the background and the creek beneath the bridge.

Here is one that is comforting to look at on a cold winter day. Condie is the south end of Mobil Grain's Last Mountain Railway and pumps out the loads a fairly steady rate. On this warm Summer afternoon a clean, almost graffiti-free grain car compliments the scene nicely, as dose MGLX 5491 as it awaits its next trip north.

CN#396 with the 5403 and 5265 is seen grinding upgrade through the most scenic portion of the Halton Sub just north of Milton. This was certainly a nice spot to watch the afternoon parade of eastbounds headed for Mac Yard.

Seeing Bill Hooper's recent post of a train on CP's Expanse Sub reminded my of this spring time chase I made down the line. This line has no shortage of scenery and is very remote. In this scene CP 2308 and a hidden 3071 lead a good sized train of interchange cars for GWRS in Assiniboia.

A rare move at the south end of the Last Mountain Railway has a cut of fifty grain empties being shoved beneath the Regina Bypass highway. The city's skyline is visible at the upper right.

It looks like things have not gone well for CN 1440 since being sold to SSR. As the sun sets on this September evening, it's remains sit partially obscured by a pair of 645s.

CN 840 is seen passing the 1/38th scale Eiffel Tower replica in Montmartre Saskatchewan, or "Paris of the Prairies" as the town slogan describes itself. Traffic levels on the Glenavon sub are quite low and there are no regular assignments on this line so this set of grain loads bound for Thunder Bay was a nice treat. Also worth noting are the flags at half mast for the Queen's passing one day prior.

In this scene the Stewart Southern Railway is around 25 miles into it's 80 mile journey between Richardson and Stoughton, all of which is 10mph. There are quite a few elevators along the line, including this one at Sedley, however it takes some patience to chase this operation.

CP 618-139 is almost at it's destination of Alwinsal Mine just south of Guernsey SK with nine units on the head end. The 7019 has gained a fair bit of grime since it's stint on the business train last year.

A large group of Eastend Scenic Railtours' equipment is seen tied down in Great Western's Assiniboia yard for the weekend. Two more F's, and a few more coaches would be lifted at Shaunavon for the trip to Eastend.

CN 5373 leads train 556 westward on the Central Butte Sub on a perfect summer evening. Just behind me is a small back track and one house on a piece of land that used to be known as Adams. Now a part of nearby township of Pense, one needs to dig up an old CN timetable to find the name Adams.
