Westward from Lethbridge, train 979 headed with fresh crews at Crowsnest and Cranbrook through to the Union Pacific at Kingsgate/Eastport, shown here approaching the Macleod sub. (now removed) junction at Fort Macleod, with a trio of SD40-2s 5608 + 5643 + 5639 for power. As may well be imagined, three of those four grain elevators (except the nearest one) are now history.
