Comments on: In September 2008 on two coal trains operating in the export coal loop from mines in southeastern BC to the Roberts Bank terminal near Vancouver, Canadian Pacific Railway started evaluating Electronically Controlled Brake equipment and operation, in which I played a small part on the coast end. ECP cross-talk between trains was an issue in the early days, so catching both trains on the road in the same photograph was rare, but on one occasion when loaded train 867-218 with 8891 leading had a power supply problem and was set out mostly in the siding at Lasha and the head-end into a storage track at Lytton in the CN directional running zone, train 867-219 with 8896 leading was also westbound there, captured here (with hoses and cables neatly tucked away, a personal project easy to apply on repeat terminal attendances) at 1109 PST on 2011-12-18 just west of where the former Canadian Northern standard depot used to sit.

Will echo the above, this is great. Love the clouds and their shadows on the mountains behind.
