On the Lacombe sub. in central Alberta, an eastward Coronation Turn with a pair of GP38-2s, 3056+3130, is returning to their train of empty grain hoppers after spotting empties on the elevator track. Nowadays the rails only reach 15 miles to the west at Botha.

    Looks like the 46 St (Highway 56) crossing in Stettler. Those elevators are long gone but two other customers are now located on that track.
