    Awesome photo. This shot was about a year after i hired on at CN. I worked the coach yard many times as a yardman. I see you even captured the Super Continental on the loop track that CN/VIA used ton turn the equipment for its journey back to Vancouver. Sad that this scene is long gone

    Amazing. Every time one of those beautiful 8500s dragged the Super around the loop, I was sure it was coming off. The creaking of the track, the immense labour put into pulling it around that corner….
