Boundary Trail Railway Company began operations about 15 years ago (2009, using the former CP La Riviere Sub. This all came about when CP no longer wanted the line and farmers were concerned about getting their grain to market.  So they got together and bought the 23 mile stretch of track.  Problem was, they knew squat about running a railroad. They were helped out by the Northern Plains Railroad just to the south in the USA, who ran a similar operation. Consider this great teamwork by a group of individuals who did not let the fact there was a border between them matter.
Matt Watson impressed me with his posting of the new paint scheme on the BTRC #4625.  I had to go and see this for myself and was surprised to see a very nicely painted NPR unit there as well. This paint scheme I believe is unique on the NPR.  I'm guessing the grain crop this year needed some locomotive assistance !!
