North Country Ribbons
Elevator Row
A southbound manifest rambles south on the Montana Sub. past historic elevator row at Warner, AB bound for Coutts/Sweetgrass where they'll interchange with the BNSF. The front elevator still clearly wearing the Alberta Pacific Grain lettering through the faded green paint.
Incredibly, some of these prairie sentinels are still here, owned and operated by Viterra, some of the last in the province. There aren't many SD40's on the rails these days either, once commanding the majority of traffic in the west for CP.
Having recently returned to southern Alberta, these shots brought back some great memories spent with my father and late uncle. Please excuse the pixelation though... back in 2004 a whopping 6 MPs was a big deal!
