Canadian Railroads > F unit Friday, CP on CN

It's a hot August morning in 2003, just west of Arnold on CN's Yale Sub. I knew CP's passenger train was making a trip into Vancouver today, so I was out early enough to get a freight ahead of this train at this spot, dialing in the focal length for the best shot. Back then, I was shooting color print film, so the quality isn't as good as today, but how often do you get A-B-A Fs on the opposite railway?

CP 1400 West
MP 77.6 Yale Sub @ 1004 PDT
Fuji Superia color print film (200 ISO?), 1/500 f8
