Over the summer, I had been itching to shoot the SRC movements on the scenic ex-CN Avonlea Subdivision, even if modern activity was a shell of the former power variety once seen on the trackage. I had initially camped out on the southeastern side of the valley in the hopes of capturing a scenic view of the CN Moose Jaw bridge but I drew an unlucky light power card so I got around to the street running portion of their transfer with CP. It apparently took me a while as I had just been pulling into Home Street when I could see 2238 rising upgrade around the corner, making me scramble to get my wide-angle lens out in time. To the left, a crew in a work truck escorted the local towards the junction with the Avonlea, and manually protected each roadway the tracks intersected with. Prior to their departure towards Truax, I had a fun chat with both crews and would, unfortunately, have to decline the temptation of a chase as I had to be back in Regina for a shift at my summer job.
