The rear DPU of L57551 assists in dynamic braking down the rather steep grade (about 0.6-0.9%).

CN 2604 and 2262 sit in the yard on the fueling tracks waiting their next assignment. The rough looking track in the foreground is the spur track that goes to the CANFOR lumber mill where my Dad worked for many years until it shut down.

The only battery electric locomotive still running at the historic Atlas Coal Mine in Drumheller. Here, the #3 is sitting with a string of cars waiting for their next load of passengers.

An old picture I found at the Atlas Coal mine. Honestly pretty impressive the guy is wearing a hard hat, but it is very logical. These mining cars used to be pulled by horses. This battery powered steel horse (or tunnel motor) depending on how you put it is much better suited for the job. Not sure on the date.

A very old boxcar with a very old coal loading facility... The Atlas Coal mine. Everything is in pretty decent shape!

The old CN Drumheller sub. There appeared to be three tracks here, which means the coal loading facility must have either been really busy, or really slow.

The real tunnel motors... These locomotives are fully electric, despite their age, some using lead acid batteries, or overhead wires. The one pictured here has the batteries visible at the top. the cannon looking thing on the front of the locomotive is actually a headlight, now broken. Specs on this locomotive are not specified, but I think it has around 50+ hp. The coal loading facility is visible in the background with the old right-of-way (The tracks are not visible) positioned beside the old boxcar.

A coal mining tool from the Atlas Coal mine in Drumheller AB. This thing looks deadly. Note the chain drive on the wheels!

CN L57551 is almost at the end of it's trip. This train is loaded, and will likely head down to the coast. This unit is most likely going to get painted in CN colors and re-numbered, so it is neat to catch them while you can!

The CPKC Cascade yard (Mile 128). Here we see three WestCoast Express trains and CPKC 2094 sitting in the yard with a cut of intermodal cars. Chinatown can be seen just to the right.

Likely built around 1956, this BCR caboose has seen better days. The car is currently kept at the Little Prairie heritage museum in Chetwynd BC. As for this car's history, it was likely part of the old PGE railway, which changed into BCR in 1972. This car is also thought to be the last caboose to go on the line into Chetwynd.

An old photograph that probably dates back to the early 1900s. This photo was on the back of a very old postcard, and is thought to be in Ontario somewhere. There was no additional information of the photo on the postcard.
