It was quite the surprise that the first time I would get the opportunity to photograph the Central Maine & Quebec 9017 heritage unit BAR (Bangor And Aroostook) would be 'way out west' in Cranbrook, BC. But here it is, behind CP 6069 on a rail train. The CP yard here used to be really busy; but now, all is quiet. It appears former CM&Q units can be found on work trains all over the country.
