Canadian Railroads > Trip across Western Canada in October

After visiting 2 of our kids and the 7 grandies in the Winnipeg area, we headed west to visit our other daughter on Gabriola, BC for Canadian Thanksgiving, and here I have time today to post pics, celebrating US Thanksgiving, turkey again....you bet.
1. DPU of a WB CN stack train at Portage La Prairie, MB
2. CP 9628 and CEFX 1048 lead an EB stack at Grenfell, SK
3. This time, a WB stack....at McLean, SK. Sure could have used some sunshine.

5. OK, maybe I missed the head-end at this classic location, but I still love all those Canadian stacks on this EB stack, just west of Field, BC
6. A CP stack runs along the S. Thompson River heading west into Kamloops, BC

Thank you so much for posting some pictures from the Prairies. Saskatchewan receives way too little coverage here. I spent some time in Saskatchewan testing CP Rail while on Sperry. I love the Province both for it's people and it's subtle beauty. I miss being there, sometimes.
