One could consider this an eclectic collection of born-again relics. M&ET is Modesto & Empire Traction 70 tonner out of California last, having been around since 1947 before coming to the prairies in 2011. ! The CP 5919 is a recent acquisition by the last Mountain RR; having come over from CP in May of 2020. The Mobil Grain 6935 began life as CN 5199 and 3143 as CN 5214. Apparently a good mixture such as this can often be found at Aylesbury. It certainly makes up for the landscape............

    Don’t knock the landscape… there’s lots to see… nothing to block you’re view :-)
