Comments on: West of Edmonton, CN utilizes portions of Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific lines dating from the nineteen-teens railway construction mania that led to Canadian National being created. West of Entrance, CN crossed the Athabasca River on a new (1926) alignment diverging from the GTP route around today’s mileage 190.8 to join the Canadian Northern route on the north side, with the CNoR route visible in this 1987-05-25 view of VIA No. 4 as the road to the right from the third passenger car. Behind this train are stations Solomon and next Swan Landing, junction with the Alberta Resources Railway north to Grande Prairie. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
