Providing a hint of the future, with two MLW M-630s (4566+4561) leading but two GMD SD40-2s (5613+5616) trailing them (and another two SD40-2s plus a Robot car, 5579+5644+1015, unseen mid-train), this westward train of coal is passing milepost 28 at Craigellachie (about 0.15 mile east of the cairn) at 1205 on Tuesday 1974-04-23. Note the telegraph pole crossarm arrangement of two long plus one shorter plus one long, in my experience unique to the CP Shuswap sub., and first noticed years earlier as a bored kid while eastward by highway from Kamloops.
