This site was started so I could share my collection of railway images I have been taking for the past few years. All photos are my own work unless otherwise noted. From time to time I travel and try to take photos in different locations. I will post mostly images shot in Prince Rupert but not limited to here.

Roberts Bank Rotary Dumper mishap
Well it looks like there was a mishap at Robert Bank Coal terminal in the rotary car dumper. The following photos show CN locomotive 8022 on its side exiting the shed. photos by unknown.
A non-rotary coupler would just snap off, happens all the time. This is caused by a drunk and/or stoned longshoreman operating the coal dumper, who grabs the end of the locomotive by mistake. And it's not the first time Westshore has done this!
I guess it tried to rotate a car without the rotary couplers! :P
