CN RDC-1 6114 has arrived at Camrose Station from Drumheller (on the Drumheller to Edmonton "Railiner"), and has made its station stop. Now, CN RDC-3 6356 on the Calgary-Edmonton train has come out of the siding (note switch stand in the foreground) and both are being coupled together by the crew in order for the two trains to to make the combined run together from Camrose to Edmonton.

This view offers a better angle of the station platform, and the end fluting of 6356 (the only CN RDC so equipped in the fleet, originally built for the MKT and acquired thirdhand from the C&O). Also note the old 51st Avenue grade crossing (now an underpass), and the old wooden grain elevators in the background for United Grain Growers (UGG) and the Alberta Wheat Pool (the latter remains to this day, still getting rail service).
