Comments on: This picture was taken on my first trip to Nelson BC in Oct 1981. For a fall day, the weather was great! This picture was taken from the side of highway which sits at a slightly higher elevation then the CP yards. Lots of activity going on. Never saw an FM unit, but did catch a “B” unit near the newer locomotive shops. The picture has a lot of lost history in it. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
