Comments on: The Coast Meridian Overpass suspension bridge crossing CP’s main Vancouver-area yard in Port Coquitlam BC is a good public place to view a large active rail yard and facilities. Some drawbacks for photographers are end-to-end galvanized steel mesh with 46mm square openings, a sidewalk only on the west side, and vibration caused by road traffic. My photos were obtained with a compact camera whose lens fitted through the mesh, though side and down angles were limited. This north-west facing view shows the Diesel Shop buildings, with a larger than usual percentage of EMD-family locomotives in the area. The closest row has CP 5047 (SD30C-eco) and CP 9715 (AC4400). The second row has GP38-2 variants CP 4415 (ex-Soo, no dynamic brakes), CP 3090, and CP 3110. Further to the right are CP 8800 (ES44ac) and CP 9598 (AC4400).
