Twice-weekly (Tuesday and Friday) freight train No. 65 from Wellcox yard in Nanaimo has just arrived Courtenay with back-to-back Baldwins CP 8001 and 8010 and caboose CP 437030 (with marker lamps already positioned for the return trip) on Friday 1975-02-14 and is preparing to switch its train. On the left, snow outlines where a wye had been until removed a few years ago. With no timetable schedule for southward freight trains, the return to Wellcox will be as an Extra.
