Mile Post 58 "Skeena" on the Skeena Subdivision





Well it's been awhile since my last post so I thought I'd share some photos I captured at mile post 58 on the Skeena subdivision on Canada Day. The first 3 images are of the view looking West towards Rupert, South across the Skeena river and East in the direction of Terrace. The next 3 photos show an East bound empty coal train lead by Locomotive numbers 2231 and 5736.

Nice shots, Scott. The flowers remind me of a post I'm working on, with wildflowers and trains in the same frame, for Trackside Treasure. Good coal train with distributed power. Kind of off-putting when that second unit comes along, especially facing backwards after 90 cars, with more cars behind, as they're often run here on CN's Kingston Sub.
