Modbil Grain's Last Mountain Railway has left home rails and is exercising trackage rights on the CN portion of of the Craik Subdivision near Bladworth Saskatchewan. Temperatures in the area were around -40C and if you look closely above the third car you can see a "sun dog" (basically a rainbow caused by ice crystals in the air).
