The west end of CP’s Coquitlam Yard (always in the City of Port Coquitlam, how logical!) was marked by a two-track through steel truss bridge over the Coquitlam River.  Here, on Wednesday 1972-11-04, Baldwin switcher 7070 (an engine I came to know well six years later on Vancouver Island) is wearing a fairly fresh coat of paint and is busy sorting a string of cars, at a then nameless location previously (before 1928) Westminster Junction and later (1988) MacAulay.  That bridge continues to serve to this day.
