The Long Creek Railroad began operations officially in 2012, running over 41 miles of the former CP Bromhead Sub track from Estevan out westward to the hamlet of Tribune.  The image shown is of their two leased units, 2886 and 3000 alongside a relatively new engine house.
I drove out to Tribune in hopes of seeing more. Nope. The track had an uneventful dead end, with rusted rail that looked like it hadn't seen a train in months.
Apparently there are two major grain operations that the LCRI services along the way, and that is about 90% of their business.
It certainly was frustrating to locate this engine house considering I really did not know where to look. Down on the dead end of an industrial road off the main highway #39 is a gravel laneway and a very small sign. The shop is down over the hill and not visible from the road.  But in the end, definitely worth the hassle.
