Canadian Railroads > Help Please on 4 More of Roger Puta's SlidesDate: 09/22/16 22:30 Help Please on 4 More of Roger Puta's Slides Author: MartyBernard These shots were taken in the order shown according to the numbers the processor put on the slides. I assume then they were taken the same day.
1. Caboose meet Alberta. May 1985. I have several photos taken here of these two trains. 2. CN 5324 and 5118, two CGTX tank cars and caboose CN 79843, Alberta. May 1985. I have three of Roger's shots taken right here. This one was taken just before the next two because they have nearly consecutive slide numbers. 3. and 4. VIA 6511 Alberta. May 1985. Same VIA train at the same place. These slides were particularly dark and lacking in color except for the blue. Thanks for all your help. Marty Bernard Edited 1 time(s).

IIRC this is where the line from Grand Prairie comes in and the photo is from the highway bridge which takes you to Grande Cache. Rick Date: 09/23/16 18:39 Re: Help Please on 4 More of Roger Puta's Slides Author: tsokolan I think Phil may have got his photo numbers mixed up, but here's my take:
#1 Looks like Entrance AB. Shot from the hightawy 40 overpass looking west. #2 What Phil said, west of Henry House -Trevor Date: 09/23/16 20:09 Re: Help Please on 4 More of Roger Puta's Slides Author: MartyBernard Thanks for the help. Do you know what VIA Train that is at Jasper?

But I was not sure what else might have been running in 1985. And the 1985 train looked nothing like the 2009 train. Here are three shots from that chase.
1. Banff Park and train 2. West of Terrace, BC 3. West of New Hazelton, BC Marty Bernard Date: 09/24/16 13:27 Re: Help Please on 4 More of Roger Puta's Slides Author: zartok-35 MartyBernard Wrote:

While it wasn't uncommon for the Super Connie to run with 2 E-series duplex sleepers and a cafe lounge in the mid/late 1980s, it still wouldve had a B-unit in the consist. |
