Comments on: When this photo was taken, the sun was setting on the Northern Alberta Railways–both literally and figuratively. I don’t have any background on the photo and can’t nail down the date or specific train ID. But I do know that the NAR became the CN Peace River Division on 1 January 1981 (it previously had been jointly owned by CN and CP). The NAR’s 10 GP9s entered service in 1958 and would be renumbered to CN 4602-4611 after the acquisition. For the record, the units in the photo are 206, 205, and 211 (the latter having been rebuilt from unit 202 after a head-on collision at Carbondale in November 1959). http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?
