Trains and Such
This gallery has been my most successful to date for purchases of my photos.
Perfect Timing
So I'm in downtown Calgary recently, or at least close to downtown doing some shopping when a friend gives me a call on the 2 meter rig mounted in my truck. He tells me that he is seeing a train headed by CP 1401 running parallel to Ogden Road near where he works.
Not having my scanner on, I'm not aware of this. We discuss where the train may be headed, and with 3 different choices as to the direction that may be, I don't think I'll be seeing this happen.
Turning on my scanner, I hear CP 1401 asking for clearance to head out to the west, and I assume this is in reference to the Laggan sub.
Being I'm close to the location seen in this photo, which is all of 6 blocks from me, I drive over and park my truck. I grab my camera and walk the 20 feet to the track, look east down the track, and there is CP 1401 coming up on my location, too funny!
On this day 1401 made a overnight trip out to Banff with CP executives on board. The executives held a meeting in the Banff Springs Hotel, Nice!
