Comments on: Canadian Pacific number 1, The Canadian, rolls west through the Canadian Shield north of Lake Superior. Just a few miles west of Marathon, the classic consist negotiates a turn near the bay of Port Munro. One of many scenes taken along this Toronto – Winnipeg – Fargo – Minneapolis – Chicago – Toronto journey, over five different railroads.Scan and editing by Jacob Patterson.

Another great shot John! It’s calling me to make another reservation on The Canadian for a cross-Canada trip in the classic Budd stainless steel equipment before it is gone forever!

John, this is such a great capture! Canadain railroading at its finest! I rode through this very same spot on September 20, 1988 on VIA No. 1 enroute to Vancouver.

This is a very nice shot, John. Love the fluted steel leading around to the head end.

Thanks, Earl. Had it a few miles too far east of there.

Nice. This is on the approach to Mink Tunnel, mile 72.9 on the Heron Bay Sub at Coldwell Ontario.
