High above the Deerfoot Trail, a CP local with GP9u's 1647 and 1567 complete with an old van, is beginning their descent to the mainline past the Calgary Herald, having completed their days task along the industrial trackage which branches off the Red Deer Sub at Zoo. It's seems its quite the dip down to the mainline... That's the top of the codeline in the foreground!  On a side note, I found my self checking out recent satellite and street view images of the area and this trackage seems to be unused and abandoned. Time marches on...
