Railpictures.ca - Ken Perry Photo: Westward from Grande Prairie, AB, the Northern Alberta Railways line to Dawson Creek, BC, travelled through numerous small communities, the first being Dimsdale, and this view is a few miles east of there at mileage 54.8, providing an ideal picturesque prairie branchline scene with good lighting for the Monday, Wednesday, Friday passage of train No. 51 westward from Grande Prairie, seen here with GP9 206 on Wednesday 1977-09-21, just a normal day in the paradise that is the Peace River region in autumn. A single GP9 running short-nose-leading was always a magnet for me and my cameras. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
