Comments on: Between Lytton and Keefers on CP’s Thompson subdivision lies the station of Kanaka (note signal bungalow in the distance on the left), and just west of that is a bridge over Kwoiek (earlier spelling Kwoi-Eek) Creek, obscured here by the leafless tree. In 1992, CP evaluated GE C40-8W units as potential alternates to SD40-2 units for heavy-haul grain and coal trains. Seen here are CP 9012 with Locotrol and UP 9434 handling unit coal train symbol 831 westward over Kwoiek Creek enroute North Bend for a crew change and onward to Roberts Bank, with UP 9432 and Locotrol-equipped CP 6064 as midtrain remotes, on Wednesday 1992-03-11 at 1627 PST. On the far bank of the Fraser River, that is CN’s Ashcroft subdivision, including one of their water chutes to carry water from uphill safely over the track. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
