CP’s Montana subdivision runs generally southwest from the Lethbridge area to a BNSF interchange at Coutts/Sweetgrass, with two junctions at Stirling.  The nearer switchstand is for the Stirling sub. seen exiting to the left, and the farther one is for the Cardston sub. visible exiting to the right, as a Coutts Turn with 5810 + 5801 + 5759 + 5813 passes the old water tower foundation heading for Lethbridge on Friday 1989-05-26 at 1522 MDT.

Nowadays, the Stirling sub. is only a spur, reaching 49 miles eastward to Foremost, and the Cardston sub. is disconnected right at Stirling per https://maps.app.goo.gl/j52QTLsaV2Hv8oUu5?g_st=im.
