Comments on: At the very north end of CN’s Athabasca subdivision (originally Canadian Northern’s subsidiary Edmonton & Slave Lake) was the town of Athabasca, on the south side of the Athabasca River. A turn from Edmonton on Sunday 1980-09-21 with branchline GMD1s CN 1008 + 1007 +1009 brought empties for loading at the several grain elevators, and as seen here, collected a train of loads to take back southward. That depot was then occupied by the Athabasca District Senior Citizens Society, and survives to this day administered by the Athabasca Heritage Society. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
