Mixed CP red and VIA blue, with the odd CN black and white car thrown in. By that time, all the 1400/1960-series F's were VIA-owned, but many were just never repainted. A few of those "VIA" units even ran in CP paint until retirement. Classic early VIA era stuff! Mixed CP red and VIA blue, with the odd CN black and white car thrown in.

I favoured the zebra striped CN engines more, for freight service - having grown up around them. But that classic CP red and multi-mark, cannot be ignored too. Nor can your photo. Lots to take in as it's snaking it's way through B.C.! I assume though, that is an access road off to the right? I thought for a moment an old spur ran off the main at the bridge - but that'd be a steep grade! Those old F units are classic in my book.
