    Nice shot. A couple of air dumps and a ballast car first up behind the power.

    Looks like a combination Grain Block/Work Train service. A good paying trip. And daytime too!

    Fantastic!!!! I love it! Been looking to find a picture at Tawatinaw. I remember as a kid we had season passes at Tawatinaw Valley Ski club. The trackage was still there at the time, but no trains.
