Ticket To Ride

Backroad Railroading

Meeting place on the Three Hills sub south of Three Hills and just north of Swalwell AB.

Once the northbound Intermodal train clears the main track, CP 2434 will continue on its way south on the Three Hills sub.

Busy morning for me, as I photographed 3 different trains within the span of a 1/2 hour on the Three Hills sub from just south of Swalwell and then north up to Three Hills.

Of course it goes without saying this happened while travelling backroads crisscrossing the Three Hills sub, and monitoring CN main track radio frequencies while checking out potential shooting locations in my Alberta large scale mapbook.

Be aware that the railroads still operate in miles when monitoring rail frequencies, and that information may be confirmed by the mile markers seen along all track.
