Comments on: After a really windy couple of days in the Assiniboia area, things calmed down a lot at night on my second night there. I was quite grateful for this as I was hoping to do night shots and was worried about camera shake otherwise. There was power kicking around near the shop more often than not from what I gathered, so knew my time here would present one of the better opportunities on my trip for night shots. On the shop tracks for the GWR on this particular night was 4062, as well as one of their purchased hoppers from the Saskatchewan fleet. The previous morning I’d watched them waste no time working on bad order cars. Within 15 minutes of a hopper going on the shop track they had it hoisted and work was underway. An impressive and friendly operation. Photo taken with permission.
