Caption: While VIA 692 lead by VIA 6448 sitting on the bolted rail mainline at Canora, SK commands the center of attention in this photo, there is so much more going on all around the shot. Off to the right of the locomotive are piles of new track material (spikes, anchors, tie plates) suggesting some major track work is in the works. To the left is a 2000 model year Freightliner 114 SD CN hi-rail boom truck (CN 270195) with tie grapple, a retired CN transfer van (CN 76659) on display at the historic 1904 built Canora station, a green flag signaling the end of a slow order on the line, a couple of communication towers with antennas pointing skyward, a few passengers milling about, a VIA on board service person manning the step box near the end of the train, and in the distance, sitting quietly in the yard waiting its next assignment is CN 5626. This 118 year old station got its name from a shortened Canadian Northern Railway .... CaNoRa. The building is now a visitor information center, museum, and VIA Rail station stop. Another beauty day for train travel and taking photos. ????
