Date: 11/30/19 21:43 Re: 112 at Morants Author: Curt Definitely on my bucket-list. Great shot!!
Date: 12/01/19 01:52 Re: 112 at Morants Author: dpudave Spectacular. But a little more location info, please. d
Date: 12/01/19 03:34 Re: 112 at Morants Author: andersonb109 CP main line east of Lake Louise. Location named after famous Canadian Pacific house photographer Nicholas Morants who took many publicity shots of trains there including the Canadian back in the day. The location is probably one of if not the most famous railway location in North American. Trees certainly have grown up obscuring part of the curve in recent years. Someone needs to do some gardening.
Date: 12/01/19 04:54 Re: 112 at Morants Author: Super_C Outstanding image! I can not believe how much the foreground has changed in just a few years.
This is Via #2 a week before it stopped running on CP rails through Calgary.  Date: 12/01/19 04:58 Re: 112 at Morants Author: robj Via - And before the trees, looks like ferrying some extra cars? I am not a big book buyer, but have both of Morant's books.
Both interesting and some tragic elements. Bob Date: 12/01/19 05:11 Re: 112 at Morants Author: ATSF5669 In this case, given the historic significance of the train pictures made here, and the incredible vista this offers, that the trees haven't been removed to keep the view of the tracks clear.

It's a national park. Ain't gonna happen. Date: 12/01/19 05:47 Re: 112 at Morants Author: mp35mountain Congratulations on Image of the Day!
Tim mp35mountain Posted from Android Date: 12/01/19 06:23 Re: 112 at Morants Author: Train611 Outstanding image.
Great location. 611 Posted from iPhone Date: 12/01/19 06:40 Re: 112 at Morants Author: SpeederDriver A lot less interesting without the snow. This shot from July 2019.
 Date: 12/01/19 07:03 Re: 112 at Morants Author: KickingHorse The contractor that replaced the box culvert and retaining wall in the fall-winter-spring of 2017-18 could have removed the trees easily and cheaply. Parks prohibited it.
  Date: 12/01/19 07:13 Between the trees in 1992 Author: gregscholl I think I used the Pentax 6x7, and just let the video roll on this one. Had to have this spot for the cover shot!!!

Date: 12/01/19 08:00 Re: 112 at Morants Author: train671 A few years back a photo charter I participated in photographed CP #2816
at that curve as well as other spots along this route. Definitely a great place to watch steam operate. Date: 12/01/19 08:35 Re: 112 at Morants Author: King_Coal Very nice. I also enjoyed the reverse photos. Never knew what was behind the photographer's back.
I guess maintenance of the pole line had kept the trees at bay for almost a century. Date: 12/01/19 08:41 Re: 112 at Morants Author: Valleyman They finally removed the pole lines, only to be replaced with trees! Almost as bad as the UP Keddie Wye in the Feather River Canyon. In five years you’ll be really pressed just to see the tracks.
Valleyman Date: 12/01/19 09:07 Re: 112 at Morants Author: Trainatic Beautiful picture. Can't wait to come back up there to visit again. Hopefully i will see you again soon.
Joe Date: 12/01/19 09:35 Re: 112 at Morants Author: TCnR Great post, interesting to see how Morant's Curve and also the Spiral Tunnels have fared over the years.
t4p. Morant's book is a keeper, no question. Very surprising used price: https://www.amazon.com/Nicholas-Morants-Canadian-Pacific-Garden/dp/0969162138/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=morant+canadian+pacific&qid=1575221658&sr=8-1 |
