Clean GP9s CP 8664 and 8502 are shown on Friday 1979-05-18 at Lake Cowichan, assembling a train of log loads from Crown Zellerbach’s Nitinat Logging Division, hence the nickname Nitinat for such moves to Crown Zellerbach’s log dump into the saltchuck at Ladysmith. The E&N depot at Lake Cowichan is to the right and behind my photo perch, and it survives to this day as the Kaatza Museum, slightly relocated from its original spot.
