Canadian Railroads > CN on CP at McCracken

Hello...

A little of the white stuff around Kamloops today.

1. CN2452 East has the CN Track Inspection train heading towards the junction at Campbell Creek a few miles ahead.
    Once on the the CN track I believe the train will be working (inspecting) the Okanagan Sub tracks to Vernon area.

2. CN2452 waits at the Stop signal on the north track protecting the crossovers, while a Clear signal indicates another eastbound is approaching.

3. The engineer of CP9700 east gives a respectful wave to the crew member off of CN2452 giving the CP train a "roll-by inspection". Once track is clear and signal given, CN2452 will take the crossover to the south track, and then on to Campbell Creek.

Railroading is always interesting!

Thanks for looking...have a nice day!

Is that a video camera sitting on the nose of 2452, just above the headlight?  There seems to be the usual one, inside the cab on the conductor's side, too.

Any ideas  what the ancestry of the track inspection car?

Looks like it was one of the Business Cars that CN built in the '50's.  Same vintage as the Tioga Pass.
