A very late CP 411 has almost reached it'd destination of Moose Jaw as it rolls into Pasqua in the Indian Head Sub. Rescue units 2212 and 3017 were added at Broadview to make up for a dead 7058. Four EMDs on the head end is nothing to be taken for granted these days.

Its a dreary, windy afternoon, so there must be something interesting in the area. In this case GTW 4620 is tagging along with the CN yard power as they built the CP transfer at the east end of Regina yard. The 4620 was billed to the Stewart Southern Railway and would get dropped off at the CP yard later that evening where it would join the GTW 4610 (in CN paint), presumably billed to the same place.

Looking back at this extra train 574 (Fort St John to Chetwynd) as we descend the mountain grade of north Taylor hill in a typical March blizzard. The fact that 35 loads and 9 empties have maxed out the tonnage our three Dash8s can handle up the other side of the river valley is indicative of the grades that will soon be encountered. Although the sun is visible in the sky, there is no colour or life to be seen. Enjoy the warm weather while you can, because this is what awaits.

Its a cold December 24th morning at 05:33 and daybreak is still hours and hours away. Luckily 478's power was nicely situated for a night shot before I went home after working the 2300 yard.... Brrrrrr!!! it makes me cold again just thinking about it!

CP's Toronto to Chicago train 417 has six SD40 variations up front, all online and providing 18000 horsepower through 36 driving axles. The train is beginning to lean into the elevated curve at mile 20 of the Galt sub. 417 (formerly 511 and later 243) was always a good bet for interesting power.

Showroom fresh CP 5989 is a fine sight to behold as it and lead unit CMQ 9011 prepare to enter the Bulyea sub for a day of repositioning tie cars for a large tie replacement program going on in the area.

Spotless CP 5989 leads work train E07 past the old elevator at Southey Saskatchewan under threatening skies. E07's task for the day was lifting and setting out loaded and empty tie gons at various points along the Bulyea sub as part of a large tie replacement project in the area.

SD40-3 MGLX 6934 is seen at the south end of the Last Mountain Railway at Condie, just north of Regina. The small transloading terminal named Condie is behind me at the time of this photo. The 6934 is tied onto a mixture of loads and empties in what are essentially mobile grain bins that can either be moved to a destination once loaded, or sit loaded until market conditions adjust. Hence the name "Mobil Grain".

Busy times at the Evraz steel mill in the north end of Regina see a variety of equipment moving about including SW1500 GMTX 196. The 196 is the latest addition to the small fleet of SW locomotives that switch the mill and adjacent scrap yard. The unit was recently taken off site by CP only to be spun ("wyed") and returned the following day, indicating it might be staying around for a while.

Generations of CP locomotives rub shoulders as crews swap trains at the east end of Belle Plaine. The 6011 was built in 1981 while the 8959 was built in 2011.
