CP 7000 East in the Fraser Canyon
Author: SD89MAC

On September 14, CP 7000 led empty coal train CP 860 east out of Roberts Bank in the late morning, here are 3 views as it made it's way east into the Fraser Canyon

1) About to pass under the Highway 1 bridge near Haig.

2) At the east end of Spuzzum siding.

3) Crossing over the Fraser River at Cisco, and about to pass under the CN mainline.

Agree #3 looks great. Maybe the ang;e without the distraction of the larger view of the Canyon and the CN bridge makes a stronger portrait of both the locomotive and the CP bridge.
Awesome.

All nice photos, but the bridge scene brings  more "pizzazz"!

I agree about photo #3.  An outstanding image.  The flatter light actually makes the image more dramatic--it has that "autumn" look.

Three excellent shots.  That CP red locomotive really stands out against the scenic background.

The masonry piers it sits are from the original bridge the CPR constructed here, and date from the 1880s.
