Grain empties east
Author: sarailfan

From Saturday afternoon, April 11 2026, as I was departing a hike near Frank AB I saw a couple eastbounds rolling out of Crowsnest Pass. I hustled east, and overtook the first one at Cowley AB. A short wait produced this shot as he climbed away from the Castle River just west of Pincher Station. 3 elephant style GEs lead somewhere around 100 cars on the CPKC Crowsnest Sub.

Great photo Darren.  The eastern flank of the Rockies makes for a superb background.
