Comments on: GMD 1974 built SD40-2 with an extra unit coal train (white flags white markers). CP Rail 5815 to Progress Rail in 2006. What is striking is the single unit, unusual to us Easterners, then of course the West always got the newest, bestest. Need help on location, direction, etc., Anyone ?

I do believe this photo was taken about 9.5km east of downtown Lytton (as the crow flies). On Google you will see a point called Tank Hill which is the spot that is 9.5km from Lytton. At Tank Hill is a grade crossing with the mainline, I think the photographer is west of the rail crossing and a little ways down the road that you can see on Google. This seems to be the same road as in your photo. Also, there is mountain in the upper right of your picture, if you put yourself on the road in Google, maybe go a little west to get closer, you will see that the tree lines on the Google mountain are very similar to the ones on your mountain photo. Lat and Long 50.255706° -121.450145°. I wouldn't bet the house, but, I would place a few bucks you were near this rail crossing. :-) Hi Steve. Been checking this on Google earth.
