With less than a year left before CP shutdown most CLC/FMs, four of them, 8714 + 8724 + 8549 + 4104, are hustling a freight westward by the freight shed at Fernie, with Mount Hosmer in the background on the right and Three Sisters on the left. The fourth unit, C-Liner 4104, is happily preserved today outside the former CP depot at Nelson.
