Rail Train at Greenhills
Day-to-day traffic on CPKC's Fording River Sub consists solely of coal trains heading to and from one of the 4 mines along the line. However, on this gorgeous summer morning there's a unique visitor to the Elk Valley.
Here we have a welded rail train, shoving north from Sparwood to drop rail at several locations along the subdivision. The train is seen here at Greenhills, a radio-controlled, signalized island controlling the junction to the Greenhills Mine load-out.
