VIA - Got your Goat?
Author: YukonYeti

A herd of Rocky Mountain Goats are more concerned about eating than the pair of F40's heading towards Jasper on September 16, 2014.

Wasn't the right train. The goats were waiting for the Empire Builder. :-)

Nice photo, I really need to get on that train one of these days. I rode it in 1984 when it was still on the CP, but clearly there is scenery on this route too.

Same body, I have just lost 33 lbs. Yes, if you mean the camera.

The color of those animals suggests to me that they're sheep, not goats. Mountain goats are essentially all white, while mountain sheep have a lot of tan in them. Also, sheep tend to run in herds that size, while goats don't.

Wow--F40PH's in good condition, clean, and running a long train on a mainline RR. AMTRAK had me convinced such engines were "too old" to work for them anymore...

VIA's F40PHs are newer the Amtrak's and all have recently been comprehensively rebuilt.
