Railpictures.ca - David Brook Photo: Driving the service road north from Capreol yard, probably forbidden down leads to Dennis where 2 tracks to the yard begins and CTC ends. Climbing the fairly steep hill across the the tracks yields this shot of 217 ( the pigs up front are a dead give a way) heading west for Vancouver. The typical 3 GP40-2′s that CN seemed to put on almost everything in eastern Canada lead 7000 feet of train westward. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Sweet shot! Always wondered how it would look from up there. Also note the rare Expo 86′ trailer!

Alas, lousy for southbounds where there might be sun. The telephone poles don’t help a lot if they’re still there. I’m still surprised how isolated th railroad is north of here.

Those trailers up front (the tandem pups) were from Imperial Roadways and could be going to anywhere from Winnipeg west. IRL was a major carrier to the west from Toronto and Montreal who used very few highway units.
