Canadian Railroads > on this day in 2006

November 29, 2006, was a dull, snowy stormy day as we prepared to depart Williams Lake BC, north to Quesnel and up Cotwood Hill. three images taken at Williams Lake, Hwy 20 overpass and the Williams Lake yard office.

three more images taken at Greening.  We had arrived at Quesnel, stored most of our train and proceeded north to Greening with full tonnage up the hill. We would store the cars in the siding at Greening, "change ends" on the locomotives and run lite power back to Quesnel and take rest at the local Roachmada motel. At Quesnel another crew would use the engines to take another slug of tonnage up the hill to Greening, pickup the cars we left there and proceed to Prince George. Seven hours have passed between the first images and the three posted with this reply, and a distance of 93 rail miles.  Doug
