CP work extra with RS-18 8781, 8762 and another 87xx are seen here working near Westfield Beach, about 10 miles out of Saint John. All manual labour involved in contrast to todays all-purpose machinery. And a bit laid-back as well. With todays standards as a guide, can you spot any safety infractions????  :o)

  1. No PPE gear :)

  2. When I seen your picture, I think about lot of history behind this photograph! I look so sad to see that, but surely great souvenir for you!

  3. Alex181: You’ll see also that most photographs I post are dealing with just that…History in one form or another. I really miss the railroads the way they were, and more so, WHERE they were. Yes, the images are great souvenirs; after so many years one actually forgets where one has been sometimes and photos bring all the memories back. Sure, all photos are a documentation of the times, but for modern digital imagery, history is a long wait.

  4. Sitting on the edge first gon may not have been the best of idaes.

  5. This is perfect, I love old and historic pictures! Today where the track was, this is a trail for biking and walk or forestation took the place with time?

  6. Alex: The line is still “in business” now part of the New Brunswick Southern. CP is history in the East.

  7. Arnold; A ok, sorry :S I make a mistake between this track and another trackage! This is my error

  8. The brakeman with his feet up must really annoy those section guys slugging it out with the ties.
