Caption: Fifty-seven miles west of Calgary, the Trans Canada Highway runs on the south side of Lac des Arcs, and as a kid riding in the back seat on family vacation, I recall looking north across that lake to a fascinating reflected view of a mill exhausting great clouds of steam.
Twenty-five years later, that was discovered to be the home of Canada Cement, with a GP7 (GMD A-273 of January 1952, ex Algoma Central 166) for switching their plant at Exshaw, seen here with number 12 active on Tuesday 1989-05-30.

Fabulous photo Ken. Looks like it would be perfect for a modeller too, the pic even includes a Quonset engine shed.
Another classic. Thanks, Ken.
this is fantastic
What’s amazing is if you go to Google Maps, go to street view.. it’s the same today, just a different locomotive and a new door on the “Engine shed”
