Westward from a bridge over the North Saskatchewan River at Prince Albert, CN’s Blaine Lake subdivision ran along the north side of that river and crossed the tributary Shell River at mileage 5.7.  On Thursday 1981-09-24 at 1601 CDT (CN time applied to CP trains on CN track, so CP crews in Saskatchewan had watches with two hour hands), CP’s running rights on that line and bridge were utilized by a westward train powered by RS-23s 8018 + 8016 + 8015 heading for a CN junction just west of Shellbrook at mileage 28.7, then another 31.5 CN miles to reach CP rails at Tobey (just beyond Debden) and onward to Meadow Lake.
