Hey, speak for yourself! Haha! I spend a lot of time in this area, whether I like it or not!

That is the Clemina backtrack at left, as well as the mileboard for Clemina East. This shot is at ~Mile 97.4 of the Albreda Sub.

With your knowledge and experience, I presume that you must work for CN (Why else would you have spent so much time in that area?).
This also helps to explain how you have managed to take so many photos in the Jasper area – it is an expensive place to visit that often. Keep it up. I enjoy your work.

Yep, you betcha. I work in track maintenance and cover a big section of track from Blue River to Edmonton to Grande Prairie to Coal Valley!

Thanks for the compliment. Ditto. It’s nice (and frustrating!!) to see all of the stuff I missed before I moved out west!
