Here is a personal favourite of mine from the summer. The annual weed killer train makes a niche presence in southern Saskatchewan, utilizing CMQ 9017 for power. This consist would unfortunately not be maintained as it would eventually merge with a ballast train in Portage la Prairie and re-shuffle power in Winnipeg for another 40. The morning of chasing before work would end here in Balgonie where I learned firsthand how neatly the distant grain elevator fits into the composition of eastbound shots at Highway 364.

  1. Nice pic! Captured another unique CPR with the Milaty mile board, which is named for mile eighty

  2. Thanks for the cool fact, I see where the name came from when I try to say “mile eighty” quickly
