Ticket To Ride

The Grain Delivery Train

Loaded LDC grain train on the Drumheller sub having just left the Louis Dreyfus grain terminal located near Lyalta AB, with CN units 8805 and 2607 pulling at the front, and a rear unit doing the pushing.

Its very rare to see any kind of train traffic on the Drumheller sub, as the track ends at nearby Lyalta, so I was more than pleased to be able to photograph this grain train on this morning as it works its way towards Calgary and the CN Sarcee yard, before continuing on its final destination the west coast.

Expand the photo for a closer look....
