Railpictures.ca - William Rolston Photo: A trio of venerable EMD’s handle CPKC work train no. 2CWR-20 as they head west out of Chapleau on the White River sub. It’s great to see these units from the 80′s stretching their legs on the mainline and still earning their keep. Usually these types of work trains have just two units up front in this area but with the grueling grades they’ll face in western Canada they’ll require the additional unit. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
