Perspective on CP ES44AC #87112 viewsOften, 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, CanadaRoadMaster259

CP Empress #28162 viewsThe Canadian Pacific #2816 & Empress' was refitted a number of years ago as a heritage project. The steamer is still in service to some degree for private charters and the odd road trip open to the public. The 'Empress' chugged past my back yard on its way to the Crowsnest Pass of The Rocky Mountains, crossing the continental divide into Alberta. Although the 'Empress' was in the lead of the consist, additional power was provided by an F7a unit to assist with the long climb aheadRoadMaster259
