Comments on: It’s hard to ask for a better backdrop for a yard. Jasper was, and still is a great place to take in some CN action. This day the SD40’s outnumbered all other power, but sadly that is not the case anymore, and they are more of a rarity. Here CN 303 with a full set of EMD’s departs the yard as 113 with a former GTW SD40 in second slows for a crew change.

And 23 years later …
Same backdrop, different looking power.
