With a nice city of Calgary backdrop, this CN local is returning to Sarcee yard after switching the foothills industrial area. Crossing over the Bow River, this bridge had some damage two years ago in the Calgary floods. You could not imagine how much time in the past few years I have spent up on top of this ridge waiting for a train, going the right way. Most of the time I see them pushing their train back to the yard.

    Love this angle. Didn’t even know it existed while I was living there. Hard to believe it’s been 8 years already, Cam!

    The best photos are in fact the ones you have to carefully plan and wait for the chips to fall into place for. A job well done too, thanks for sharing.
