An extra going back to Edmonton with a few loads of grain and some empty tanks. Photo taken at mile 12.7 just south of Gibbons. The train was ascending the last of the hill up from the Sturgeon river. The valley can be seen to the left of the hoppers. In less than a 1/2 mile, the track straightens out and goes directly south to the junction switch.

    Thanks fellows. This was a pretty great consist for myself. It was the only occasion that I saw of the 1055 working on the Coronado, it was nice having it in the lead. :-)
