Gyproc
Veteran CN SD70I number 5615 slowly rounds the corner past the Partap Forest Products sawmill in the Bridgeview area of Surrey, BC. The thirty year old EMD leads a more modern SD70M-2 cousin with a transfer from CN's Thornton Yard to their Lynn Creek Yard in North Vancouver.
Gyproc is so named for the Georgia-Pacific gypsum wallboard plant which operated for decades at the location where I am standing. The plant was idled almost fifteen years ago, before demolition in 2021. The location now only marks the diverging switch for the Brownsville spur to the Fraser Surrey Docks complex, and the last control point on the Yale Subdivision before its end at the Fraser River Junction.
