Comments on: A maze of branch lines operated out of Prince Albert, with CP often utilizing CN lines to access CP branches. One was the Nipawin Turn for 18 miles on the CN Paddockwood sub. to a junction at Sharpe with the CP White Fox sub. eastward to Nipawin. Typical service was a pair of MLW RS-23s and a caboose on CN from Prince Albert to Sharpe then on CP to Meath Park, then picking up grain loads through to Nipawin, then empties westward with setoffs at active grain elevators up to Meath Park, then running cab hop home to Prince Albert. On Tuesday 1976-09-28, that is what 8015 and 8017 are doing, westbound at Gobeil Road and less than a mile from CN track at Sharpe. Today, this is empty grade; track extends northward from Prince Albert only 8 miles to White Star (Carleton Trail) and westward from Nipawin to Choiceland (Torch River Rail). http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
