Caption: West from Kamloops, CN stays fairly close to water level, first along the north side of Kamloops Lake then along the Thompson River. Shortly before reaching Walhachin, an old river oxbow is crossed, and early morning near-summer lighting is ideal for catching reflections, illustrated here at 0708 PDT on Tuesday 1982-06-01 with a grain train westward behind CN 5139 + 5125 + 5280 at mileage 29.9.

The cut face of the distant bank is for CP’s Thompson sub. ascending to a summit at Walhachin.
