Mazeppa, AB
CP 469 speeds due east through Mazeppa. Back in the day Mazeppa would have been the second station on the Aldersyde Subdivision timetable after, well, Aldersyde. In the days of the Macleod Subdivsion, the Aldersyde Subdivision would have branched off the Macleod at Aldersyde. Both lines would have then continued south towards Fort Macleod and Lethbridge respectively, with the Aldersyde being the less frequented of the two. But, times changed, and the Macleod was abadoned and torn up while the Aldersyde was selected to remain the sole route linking Calgary to the Southern Alberta trackage. The portion between Calgary and Aldersyde was absorbed from the Macleod, and stations such as De Winton and Okotoks were added to the Aldersyde timetable.
Wow... that's a lot of Aldersyde's for one description.
