Caption: High above the Deerfoot Trail, a CP job with GP9u's 1647 and 1567 complete with an old van, is beginning their descent to the mainline past the Calgary Herald, having completed their days task along this industrial trackage known as the M Lead, which branches off the Red Deer Sub at Zoo. It is quite the dip down to the mainline... That's the top of the codeline in the foreground!
On a side note, I found my self checking out recent satellite and street view images of the area and this trackage seems to be unused and abandoned. Time marches on...

Nice catch, I saw this once while driving on the Deerfoot. Thought it would make a great picture. Appears I am too late lol.
@Eric May, A great bit of info there. Thanks for sharing!
