Canadian fans, need another location
Author: yardclerk

Here is another picture from a friend's collection.

CP RDC 9024 in a somewhat nondescript location. Do any of you recognize this location?

I'm not a Canadian, but I'm pretty sure that is the old E&N station in Victoria, BC.

yeah it does, but the 9024 never saw service on the E&N. Here's a shot of CP 9199 in the old E&N Victoria station.

It is the old E&N Railway Depot downtown Victoria, CP tore this building down in 1972 to provide better road access to the Johnson Street Bridge. From 1972-1985 trains ran from another station built to the north of the roundhouse. In 1985 VIA Rail Canada built a new station on this location.

ENrailway,

Much obliged to you for that location. My knowledge of Canadian railroading is poor at best.

I have 3 pictures of Northern Alberta Railways to post next for you all to help me with.

Note that the train in Yardclerk's photo is *still running* through mid-March or so. Then it's gone forever...
