Home from Alberta for Christmas I was able to get out and shoot some of the Monday-Friday operations that I did not have much time for when I lived in Halifax. One of those operations was the CN gypsum train that ran from the quarry in Milford and the shipping dock at Wright's Cove. From Wright's Cove the gypsum was loaded on ships for export to the US. Normal power on these trains in 1987 was a pair of six-axle MLWs. CN still runs these trains but almost 30 years later chasing is a little tougher since this is almost the suburbs now.
