SW1200RS CN 1321 and its train are heading timetable west (compass south-west) over Sixteen Mile Creek. The crewman turned away from his side window appears to be watching the train through the cab back windows. A derailment here would be worse than usual - the river is quite a way below.

    Great profile shot! Like many other changes through the years, these relics have gone. Love your photo John.
