Caption: Northern Alberta Railways typically utilized three of their four SD38-2 units to handle the Great Slave Lake traffic down to and then up from a bridge across the Peace River at the town of the same name. Here, on Friday 1976-09-24, that day’s GSL Turn is just starting to roll homeward again behind 402 + 404 + 401 after pausing for a mandatory standing train inspection after a hard grind upgrade from Peace River to level land at Judah, and now about to cross Township Road 825, with forty-one miles to Winagami Junction then one more to home terminal McLennan. From there, two more subdivisions spread over 262 miles for the cars to reach Edmonton.
