Comments on: CP 618-139 is almost at it’s destination of Alwinsal Mine just south of Guernsey SK with nine units on the head end. The 7019 has gained a fair bit of grime since it’s stint on the business train last year.

railwayguy- No, just the first two were online. The entire train was for the mine except the head end car, CP 911 (emergency response training car) that was left in the back track at Guernsey.

awmooney- Thanks, I first saw this guy in very backlit conditions near Regina but I think you get why I did a little driving…

Marcus Stevens- Your welcome! The more CP units out here, the more foreign units for you guys.

Arnold, couldn’t agree more with your comments, but if you look closely on the right hand side way back , you can see a tree (or two).

Impressive !!! I love the idea of being able to get such a remarkable collection of power and a good length of train with nothing else to be seen but the trackbed and the grasses. Not even a tree! Great open prairie shot.

What a lash up of power ! Were all the units working ? Were all the cars empty potash cars headed for the mine and how many ? Very nice picture, thanks for posting, John
