Nostalgia & History > Where was Roger?Date: 07/17/17 21:54 Where was Roger? Author: MartyBernard These six are in sequence from the same roll of Kodachrome. The number is what Kodak printed on the slide mount. Roger Puta shot these near the end of October 1971. He was out in the prairies.
24 CN FP9 6506. We have identified this diesel leading the Rupert Rocket at Smithers, BC in daylight. Have no idea if this is the same day. 26 Sleeper Endeavour 28 boarding 29 boarding 33 an open end obs car 34 station platform Thanks for any help, Marty Bernared Date: 07/17/17 21:55 Re: Where was Roger? Author: MartyBernard Date: 07/17/17 22:46 Re: Where was Roger? Author: BoostedFridge #5 Sure looks like the Prince George, BC station. This would lead me to believe that #1-4 are there also.
#6 is at at Jasper, AB looking RR west. Date: 07/18/17 00:14 Re: Where was Roger? Author: MartyBernard The train was over night between Prince George and Jasper so just maybe he rode it. ???
Marty Date: 07/18/17 00:30 Re: Where was Roger? Author: aronco My guess is the open platform car is car no. 23, later 93, which was based at Edmonton and assigned to the Regional Vice-President of the mountain region. I am basing this on the location of the track lights on the end of the car. This car was later sold to a buyer in California, and ended up as RPCX 800693, "TIOGA PASS". Ironically, this car returns to Canada every year as an escort car for trainloads of military equipment moving from near Calgary to Becancour, Quebec, East of Montreal. When the car passes it's "birthplace" of Point St. Charles shop in Montreal, strange voices arise from the floor saying "I'm home!".
