On the cold morning of Thursday 1974-10-03 at Aldersyde, AB, train Second 75 with FM/CLC H16-44 8720 leading and GMD F7B units 4433 and 4444 trailing has paused at the depot (the mast seen above the first boxcar is for the radio at the depot) for a meet with southward train 992.  No. 75 was a daily train from Lethbridge via the Aldersyde sub. to a junction with the Macleod sub. (near the tail end of this train) and onward to Alyth Yard in Calgary.  Now, the Macleod sub south of Aldersyde is history except for a short spur, and north of here is a continuation of the Aldersyde sub.
