Railpictures.ca - Ken Perry Photo: Before CP Lethbridge was relocated west in 1984 to Coalhurst (later Kipp), Lethbridge yard was in downtown, and was overpassed near the depot by a roadway (Stafford Drive, as far as I recall). In the evening of Tuesday 1974-10-15, westward hotshot connection from Dunmore running as train number 79 with SD40-2 CP 5644, bound for Union Pacific interchange at Kingsgate, BC, paused for crew change. Today, the mainline has been relocated 270 metres north, but the depot survives at 801 on 1 Avenue South, with MLW 2-8-0 CP 3651 on display nearby. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
