These two guys spent several days, cutting up poor 8155, until it was just a pile of scrap metal. This was a very different time at Ogden shop. Lots of old or bought out power sitting around waiting their fate, repair, rebuild or scrap. Now it is a industrial park owned by CP, renting out its repurposed buildings. A few hundred meters to the North on this property is now the location of Canadian Pacific Railway Headquarters.

Lillooet Yard, at this time used to have a yard engine that was kept quite busy switching the various industries in the area. Sadly this is no longer the case now CN has taken over.

This picture was taken at the time when BCR was rapidly painting out the Green, favouring the red, white and blue. I preferred the green.

I came across this train at Victoria Park, downtown Calgary. I then made my way as quickly as I legally could to this location of Chinook, in South Calgary. It was really moving so I was not able to get out of traffic in time to follow it further South.

There is a really great hostel here that is right by the CP main line so you can pop out and get shots at this crew change point when ever you wish.

at this time, Boston Bar was a major crew change point, with lodgings and a crew restaurant. It was not unusual to find four or more trains here at any given time. Last I checked the station was still intact.
