Caption: Trains to Fort McMurray this week were running way off their usual times. I believe the track was undergoing considerable upgrading, which brings about operational delays of some nature. The Muskeg Mixed usual return was in the early morning hours, during the night. Here it is coming home at 16:15, very late indeed. There were storms in the area, producing this interesting light. Just immediately west of here, the sky is blue with the sun out. Although I have clouds above me, the scene is being lit by the bright sky to the west. The late return has not put a frown on the brakeman. Photo taken a couple of miles west of Redwater. Please see neighbouring post for part-2.
