Perspective on CP ES44AC #8711
Often, train photos are taken from a distance in order to capture a good portion of the train and the surrounding scenery. I do that, too. But, on this occasion, I grabbed this photo as #8711 slowly rolled by on it's way to one of the four coal mines north of our locale. When I look at how puny the engineer appears to be in relationship to the size of the locomotive, I am awestruck by the majesty of these giant machines! I took this photo near the Track Supervisor's office in Sparwood, British Columbia, Canada
