We have lots of interesting things in this photo. There is a loaded potash train heading west to North Vancouver. Potash was loaded near Watrous of Melville SK.
In the way of static trains, from left to right, there is an empty coal train (When I blow up the image, I think that I see a caboose on the far end), a strange assortment of cars in the next track. The car on the end appears to be a limestone car for Inland Cement seen in the background. Other cars in that line might be potash?, but the flats puzzle me - perhaps ribbon rail cars?.
There is another coal train, then a sulphur train and finally, I think that I see a wood product train (#359?)
