Railpictures.ca - Ken Perry Photo: During the short period of Victoria Pacific tourist railway operation on a short section of CN’s Cowichan subdivision west of Victoria, one of my photo goals was to document CP’s E&N southward Courtenay-Victoria passenger train No. 2 with Victoria Pacific equipment in the background, ideally with sunlight on the near side. Near the summer solstice, on Saturday 1972-07-01, that worked out, with CP 9199 on No. 2 and former Comox Logging & Railway 2-8-2 Baldwin number 16 getting ready to depart Millstream Junction on the last run of the day, as seen from up on the TransCanada Highway. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
