A westbound Canadian National freight crosses the Fraser River over Cisco Bridge at Cisco, British Columbia, on September 27, 2001. Powering the train is the interesting consist of EMD SD50F No. 5450 leading a trio of former CN SD40s now owned by Alstom, but still lettered GEC Alsthom Transport, and rebuilt into SD40-3s. CN’s Cisco Bridge is 247 meters (810 feet) long and 67 meters (220 feet) high, and also crosses over the parallel Canadian Pacific main line.
The engineer of CP 31B eases his 3 units and 11 car consist across the rushing Fraser River on the CN span of the famed Cisco bridges.

The Canadian National has a spectacular bridge over the Fraser River at Cisco, British Columbia, but Canadian Pacific’s crossing there is pretty awesome too. An eastbound CP grain train immediately exits a tunnel and crosses the Fraser on this elegant truss bridge on September 28, 2001.

Canadian National 5333 west crosses the Fraser River on the 810 ft. long x 220 ft. high truss arch bridge at Siska, BC.
Out of view, behind the photographer is the equally impressive Canadian Pacific trough truss bridge, which also crosses the Fraser and ducks under the Canadian National bridge.
I had another pano from South Dakota lined up, but it looked weird having three of them in a row. So instead, here is an abandoned building from the Ghost Town of Cisco Utah.
A loaded UP coal train rolls through the east end of the control point at Cisco, Utah which is still protected by a GRS Type D and Type SA dwarf.
The Canyon Spirit test train pauses briefly at Cisco, Utah for a meet with Amtrak. Canyon Spirit is the newer sibling of Rocky Mountaineer under the Amstrong Collective. The Rocky Mountaineer brand covers routes in Canada out of Vancouver, Calgary, Jasper, Kamloops, Lake Louise, and Banff. The Canyon Spirit brand operates trains between Denver, Moab, and Salt Lake City. This day, the Canyon Spirit left its overnight stop in Glenwood Springs bound for Moab, Utah. Within the next 3-5 years, Canyon Spirit is aiming to expand train operations to Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park.

The desert wears... a veil of mystery. Motionless and silent it evokes in us an elusive hint of something unknown, unknowable, about to be revealed. Since the desert does not act it seems to be waiting -- but waiting for what? Edward Abbey
One of the desert jewels in the southern Utah desert. This little arch is located in an entrada sandstone formation north of Moab, Utah. On this night my friend JK Schow and I set up to retake shots on this arch. JK rented some fisheye lenses that worked a lot better this time, for shots taken inside the arch. We then climbed on top of the arch to get this composition.
When Edward Abbey wrote the above quote I believe he was speaking of the desert in general. With the cloaking of darkness and the added beauty of the night sky does it or does it not add to the mystery?

An empty BNSF coal train takes the siding at Cisco to meet the Potash local. The west end of the siding is still protected by Type Ds and a relay-mounted searchlight, a classic Rio Grande end-of-siding.

The sound of Fraser River echoes through the canyon walls as a Canadian Pacific coal train meanders across CN’s famous truss bridge at Cisco, British Columbia. Rocks, rivers and bridges — this is my kind of spot!
A trio of SP AC4400Ws head east through Cisco. After the UP merger it was common to see solid sets of SP ACs on the coal trains. This one seen motoring through Cisco. It looks like the siding is stuffed with autoracks. 7.5.97
Cisco and Pemba moved to a new house today and are finding it a bit stressful so I've been sending positive vibes down to London for them! For more interesting stories about Bengals, visit Plumbum's website where she is taking part in a Blogathon in aid of the RSPCA.
