Four SD-40-2's spliced by GP-9 8663 have just crested the continental divide. Construction of the railway caused the creek here to have its path divided, hence the name Divide Creek. Half of the flow goes west towards the Pacific, the other half goes east. If you would like to change the world, you can take some water from one side and put it on the other.

    With the many CP SD40 pictures posted recently, this photo deserves a better response than it has received so far. It is a wonderful photo. :-)
