Caption: During the bitterly cold winter of 1993-1994, mechanical personnel were deployed to known difficult areas to improve the chances of trains getting over the road without delay, with particular emphasis on “hot” intermodal traffic. Thus, I was on eastward symbol train 482/03 with SD40-2s CP 5943 and SOO 6622 on Friday 1994-03-04 when we had a meet at Falcon, SK, 108 miles east from Moose Jaw, which presented an opportunity to railfan on pay. At just under a mile north of the TransCanada Highway, the sound of the idling units competed with the wind singing in the low pole-line wires.
