When it comes to spectacular scenery, it is almost impossible to compete with the West. However, the quaint countryside of Prince Edward Island is complimented by this equally quaint CN caboose hop rolling westward past the blissful background of St. Peter's Bay. CN 30 and 40, a pair of 70-tonners, are returning to Charlottetown after delivering a few boxcars to Souris for the potato harvest. (another image: http://railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=6239 )

    Fantastic shot Arnold! I hope you have more from the island. My wife and I honeymooned there in September and we will be going back next year, hopefully to bike the old rail line.

    Congratulations on getting Hitched, Dave!!! Yes, the Isle is one beautiful place, and in my humble opinion, unappreciated by many of us.
    I’ve not many rail images from there; the last few times there, well, no more railroad. Real shame. A Tourist Road just might have made it during the summer season.
