Railpictures.ca - John Eull Photo: Behind two AC conversions (8332 and 3401), a 98-car sulphur train makes its way slowly through St. Albert and over the Sturgeon River. Originating in Whitecourt, S72151 will pull in to Walker Yard where the power will be cut off and the cars added to a westbound for Thornton Yard. This portion of the Sangudo sub was once part of the Canadian Northern main line to Port Mann, British Columbia (now Thornton Yard). It was relegated to a branch line when the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific lines through Yellowhead Pass were rationalized during World War I. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
