Two trains in one photo is a frequent possibility along the Thompson River, with CN on the west side most of the way and CP on the east side.  Upstream of Ashcroft by four miles, this shows a westward CP sulphur train (always a treat to catch the bright yellow, even on a dull day) with CP 5854 + 5599 + 5815 plus two remotes with a Robot car on the far curve and the Tolko (now Koppers) crosstie treating plant plant below them, paralleled by CN westward coal with CN 5439 + 5334 in the distance on the other side.

Planned for posting next week, the view looking downstream.
