The plow on this former SP GP60 will see use in a different type of service than originally intended by EMD as it pulls loaded boxcars from the City Fibers spur.
Having seen a photo of one of these posted yesterday I have unearthed this one I took last September during our trip through Washington state.
Hopefully my identification is correct and this little inquisitive looking bird is a Bush Tit. There seemed to be a great number of them flitting around the higher reaches of a couple of fir trees in a garden in Mount Vernon. Alas they were very high up so the clarity isn't what I would have hoped for.
If I have miss-identified this bird please let me know.

On our return from Kelowna to Okotoks, Calgary we stopped off at this view point in Vernon and looked across Kalamalka Lake.
The view was breathtaking. Properties littered the otherside of the lake.
