The tiny hamlet of Stony Beach Saskatchewan has one of the best looking elevators still standing today, complete with it's vintage POOL logo. Stony Beach is also a station name on CN's Central Butte Sub between Regina and Moose Jaw. In this scene, CN SD60 5418 leads the line's only regular train, the five day per week 556. The train will work the next town, Belle Plaine, for the rest of the evening, then make it to Moose Jaw after dark.

There is certainly no shortage of standard cabs in this view of the west side of the diesel shop in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. A couple real oddballs include the 762 and 1127.

IC 2465 is framed by the rear window of CN 2445... I knew those round rear windows on the 2400s had to be good for something!

Chetwynd to Fort St John train 575 has just about crossed the Peace River bridge into Taylor BC. This train was/is a regular assignment out of Chetwynd that had a call time window beginning at 18:00. Sometimes, when they were called at 18:00 on the dot and the train was ready to go they would make it to Taylor in daylight. Such must have been the case on this day as the time is 21:28 and Chetwynd is 55 miles behind them.

CN 5280 and 5367 lead train 540 past the one remanning elevator in Harris SK. Theres nothing to lift today though as the cars spotted at the elevator have yet to be loaded. The foundation for the old water tower is also visible in the lower left of this scene.

I'm standing where, up to the mid 1980s, the CN Dodsland Subdivision passed through Ruthilda Saskatchewan. Grand Trunk Pacific first laid rails through here in 1912 and the water tower was constructed shortly there after. Today the water tower still serves the surrounding community.

Former CP SD40-2s 5865 and 5919 are seen here at Mobil Grain's shop in Delisle Saskatchewan. I'm still not sure if Mobil Grain purchased these units or is just doing work on them. exCP 5954 could also be seen on the property.
