Canadian Railroads > SD40-2 #5589 at Sparwood BCDate: 04/06/21 08:33 SD40-2 #5589 at Sparwood BC Author: Blackfoot As I slowly go scanning through all my old pictures and negatives, I keep coming across images like this that I totally forgot about. In July of 1980, after finishing up a seismic job in the mountains near Blairmore AB, I took a short drive west to see what I could see before heading back to Calgary. I only made it about 40 km down Highway 3 before it started getting dark, but I was lucky enough to catch this train with four SD40's at Sparwood BC.
