Comments on: This empty coal train is crossing the Eagle River at Malakwa behind CP nos.8788&5003. The SD30ECO units were used on CP coal trains from mid 2014 for about a year until mechanical problems caused their demise. At the present time ES44ACs and AC4400s are used consistently as prime power units.

There are a lot of these truss style bridges on the Shuswap sub between Sicamous and Revelstoke.

Pity the bridge is not dated overhead as a lot of the American ones are.

SD30′s couldn’t handle the workload…as many predicted? Pity, as they look great.

I like the SD30 as part of the lineup. I just love the little bridge. That thing must have some real age to it. Most short bridges are usually done without any overhead structure.
