One of those days in which I was getting impatient for spring time, I guess. Was wandering up the old incline to the Canada Crushed Stone facility when I happened to notice an eastbound train in the distance. Oil train? In the distance the old Dunas station can be seen, along with the caboose on the rear. CN 9562 sole power. On the extreme right is the incline track I am walking along; and on the left is the track that ran off the main line down into Steetleys (Canada Crushed Stone) quarry operations. Operations ceased in the 1970s; track pulled up and the area below the tracks in now a housing development.

  1. Wow, this is nice ! You were in the right place at the right time. The single unit power, compact unit train with caboose on a curve, white classification lights and drab late winter weather all make this very interesting !

  2. Appreciate the comments, lad. :o )
    And I took all these years to getting around to posting it.
