Caption: Between Lytton and Keefers on CP’s Thompson subdivision lies the station of Kanaka (note signal bungalow in the distance on the left), and just west of that is a bridge over Kwoiek (earlier spelling Kwoi-Eek) Creek, obscured here by the leafless tree. In 1992, CP evaluated GE C40-8W units as potential alternates to SD40-2 units for heavy-haul grain and coal trains. Seen here are CP 9012 with Locotrol and UP 9434 handling unit coal train symbol 831 westward over Kwoiek Creek enroute North Bend for a crew change and onward to Roberts Bank, with UP 9432 and Locotrol-equipped CP 6064 as midtrain remotes, on Wednesday 1992-03-11 at 1627 PST.

On the far bank of the Fraser River, that is CN’s Ashcroft subdivision, including one of their water chutes to carry water from uphill safely over the track.
