Comments on: The Roberts Bank coal export terminal originally served just CP trains, then added CN traffic, then BN petroleum coke from Cherry Point refinery in Washington state. Seen here, the New Westminster Local with a pair of BN GP9s, 1629 and 1627, is departing Gulf, about five miles from Roberts Bank, with empties, on Thursday 1979-07-19. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
