Caption: Just minutes prior I had been trying to dry my jacket in the wind after a band of rain had just dropped torrential downfall on me, as it was my only protection from the elements I had with bicycle as my main mode of transportation. The winds persisted throughout the morning, and the banding of clouds made for some fun backdrop in an otherwise backlit situation as 2-GPS-20 carries emergency ballast bound for Red Deer Alberta. For those of you out east who were curious about 9017 being taken off the annual sprayer last year, you have this train to blame as 9017's weed killing duties prematurely ended. Trailing units were CP 5908, CMQ 9020 and CP 6300, the latter of which was a power move bound for Moose Jaw
