Extra 1082 is leaving Gibbons at 11:05 after stopping to pickup a few cars. It is a longish S bend as they head southwest from Gibbons, which, approx. 2 miles from here, the route will become straight south to St. Paul Jct and connect with the Vegreville Sub. With luck they will be on the shop track by 12:30.

I'm pretty sure this is 2 shifts meeting. The carknocker will be ending his shift with a train inspection and the crew of the 2853 is just getting started on their trip to Wainwright at 6:30 this morning. Funny how when you're the crew just heading out, you always want to be the other crew that has their shift coming to end. Such is the life of work around the clock. Still, as much as I hated nights, it was the best time to be there as you generally had the place to yourself. Good smear games at coffee too.

These little superintendent cars always made me go into a wishful dream. How cool it would be to own one and travel the rails in these converted cabs. From what I was able to find out about them, there was only 3 made. Two stationed in B.C. and one in Alberta (in their initial years). They seem to be of a little higher grade of construction than the converted boxcars made into a similar type car with platform and brake wheel only at one end. Today, 61202 is headed for Fort McMurray, where it will stay for some several days before returning.

All 3 still looking somewhat fresh from a recent re-painting, they have just entered the south end of the connecting track. A beautiful morning to have the window open and traveling through the countryside. Photo taken at 9:15, east of the Kerensky siding.

As the headend brakeman walks back to the units after coupling on, I took a moment to catch a shot of the view out of town. By the look of it, you would think we had a lot of trees growing in the area. One of my most fav GP9's, the 4602.

Often seen lately on these pages as the 4774, shown here before renumbering, with 28 loads of grain and a rare visitor to the Coronado Sub. the 4283. Both units are actually rare to this area. This being the only time I photo'd the 5574 and the last time taking photos of the 4283. The 4283 in the previous week had gone through town on 2 separate trains.

I don't mind the looks of the ECO-20's. In the Edmonton area, I have found them a tough customer to get a nice photo of. Did not get any photos in 2020 and previous to that is slim pickens. CP keeps a well stocked stable of GP-38's for here. The 2246 is headed down to do some switching in the CP-CN interchange yard located right next to the Suncor refinery.

The loads are lifted, coupled back on and it is so long Gibbons as the snow flakes fly. The crews likely last stop now will be Calder yard. This unusual elephant style happened quite frequently with so many of the ex-NAR GMD-1's and GP-9's working the Coronado Sub.

After spending the early morning hours making the journey north from Mirror, the 4614 is parked on the main waiting for traffic to clear on the Wainwright Sub. before continuing on to Walker yard.

A quick stop at the Lake Ohara turnoff and the mid-morning sun made for good lighting as No.2 approaches Stephen. That is milepost 124 on the far pole.

At 10:40 on a cold January morning, 584 is heading out with a long string of grain hoppers to peddle at the various elevators on the way.

First place I set up, clouds. Drove for a second try and got lucky. They have 35 loaded sulphur hoppers behind the units and it won't be much longer till Calder and on the shop track. Photo taken just west of Redwater.

I was watching the CN crew pick up the blue gon out of AltaSteel (rusty red building in the background) and then get a light to come north towards me. Just as they head north this CP truck drives up and becomes part of the scene. You just cannot believe how things work out sometimes.

The early morning sun is pouring into the cab and it is time for the 7518's crew to head for the shop track. I saw them working in the Scona area as I drove down the Sherwood Park Fwy. I knew it would not be long until they came puttering home.

The 1343 and 1347 are making a long reach into the Sherritt Gordon fertilizer plant, located directly east of the City. The 1347 is one of the very few 1300's I have seen where the bottom cab windows have been filled in and painted. It also has the unusual cylindrical stacks on the arrestor, rather than the inverted cones, as on the 1343. The green of the John Deere combine is almost exactly the same as the BN flat car it rides on. The flat will be heading to the team tracks downtown by the elevators perhaps. Photo taken at 11:30 on a crisp January day.

Went for an outing at the A.P.R.A. museum and took a few photos. This old caboose was of particular interest as it appears to be in CN applied paint. If this cab is still there, it will have just had its 90th birthday in 2019, having been built in 1929. That is my best guess for a date, no notes for museum pictures.

I mentioned in a previous post that the regular crew had the Coronado Sub. mostly to themselves. On Thursday's, as in this photo, a spare crew was called for the fuel run to the Cold Lake airforce base. The base required 2 trains a week to keep the planes topped up. Typically, a meet was set up close to Edmonton, Redwater often being chosen, between the returning regular crew and the spare crew heading out. In this photo, 836 is a solid train of 16 tanks, headed up by a single unit, the 5578. The grain extra can be seen in the siding at Redwater with the headlight dimmed and waiting. These meets usually happened around 11:00 with the spare crew returning late Thursday night or early Friday morning. The little siding into the culvert plant in the foreground did not have much time left. Frog and switch will be removed in the near future. Of interest, film used is Konica 100asa print film, it does look a little different than Kodak. Why the interest? If you bought 3 rolls from London Drugs, you got a little free Konica clock for your desk. It's been flipping numbers on my desk all this time (with an occasional battery change). :-)

Roster shot of the 9194 taken on the fly north of Egremont. The complete lineup included the 5590, 9194, 9107 and 9159. For some reason the 9194 received a unique paint job (9194 in black letters) when compared to the other re-built F unit B's. More on this can be found in Vol.20, No.1 of the CNRHA magazine CN Lines, plus there is another photo of the 9194 showing the right side and how the zebra stripes are reversed (but with 9194 in white letters). Vol.20, No.2 of CN Lines has info for those that interested in modelling F units.

For the crew that works this run 6 days a week, they are headed home this Saturday morning at 10:30. They will enjoy a Sunday off and be back Monday morning with 836, the jet fuel train. Not a large train today, 32 loads and 3 empty gons. Their work week looked like this, Monday 836-jet fuel loads, Tuesday return home with empties. Wednesday 584-grain peddling, Thursday return home. Friday 584-grain peddling, Saturday return home. Sunday off. On their return home days, on average, they would have most of the afternoon off. Also, the caboose 79836 was stamped with "Assigned to 584" on the side. For the years I was trackside, this run was a favourite of the men with high seniority. You're not going to stack up the miles real fast but it was predictable with some time off during the week. And really, except for the odd work train in the summer, you had the subdivision pretty much to yourself. Shucks. :-)
