Lettered on the side is “CN 10.86″ – could be date of rebuild or major maintenance – and some notices: “DANGER – Block Wings Open Before Going Behind” “WARNING – This Plow Is Too High To Pass Through Winnipeg Train Shed” It’s a colourful summer scene, but … Winter is coming. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
