Redemption
CP's Fab Four (with apologies to the Western Pacific fans) grind out of the Qu'Appelle Valley on their way to Regina Saskatchewan. After discovering this location less then 2 months before, and getting hosed on a shot of a southbound, I was determined to extract a little redemption from the valley. This shot was the last of many taken of the special train celebrating Canada's 150th anniversary. I had spent three excellent days following and photographing the consist in some great weather and light. A friend remarked he was less then interested in the train because there was no steam power on the head end, but to shoot 4 beautifully painted F units on a passenger train in 2017 is interesting enough for me!
