The tailend cars to the Muskeg Mixed. Not only were trains running off time but equipment was being stick handled around. Coach 5099 and an old NAR caboose, now CN caboose 79101, should have been a part of these cars. Instead, the coach and caboose went up earlier in the week and are still there, doing whatever. Tonight we get caboose 79508 and baggage 7857. In the near future, baggage 7857 will go into the shops to have extended windows installed so it can run as a tailend car with no need for a caboose (what I would term a bagboose in my notes LOL). Photo taken a couple of miles west of Redwater. Please see neighbouring post for part-1.
