Comments on: With dynamic brakes whirring, a loaded coal unit train from southeastern BC with CP 5811 + 5812 + 5772 + 4572 on the headend and unseen mid-train remotes 1017 + 5703 + 5642 + 5599 is descending from Notch Hill on the Shuswap sub. on Sunday 1976-10-17. The era of exclusive MLW power on CP coal trains was long gone. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

Have to admit I really miss these locomotives. I think 5811 was one of the last to sport its large multi-mark into the 2020s. Now that is one beautiful scene.
