A 2-head signal can only indicate slow or diverging (with a DV plate). CP uses the CROR rulebook. You might be more familiar with UCOR?

The Thompson flows into the Fraser at Lytton , a little over 20 miles downstream... Keith Robertson Langley, BC Date: 01/21/21 21:24 Re: CP Business train in the Thompson River canyon.

The second shot is at east switch Drynoch, about to head under the TransCanada Highway. Fred Date: 01/21/21 23:06 Re: CP Business train in the Fraser River canyon.

The B unit recently went through Iowa and I'm wondering if they're going to resume using them again as they haven't for a while.

Date: 01/22/21 14:35 Re: CP Business train in the Thompson River. Author: Jckaufman I have a question:
There are just 4 passenger cars on this train. It would seem as though the A & B F-units would provide more than enough power. What is the purpose of the red, more modern locomotive? Thanks, Jack Date: 01/23/21 22:50 Re: CP Business train in the Thompson River. Author: dan The lead f unit is gone, the first set may have been failing, the second biz train set power was worked on in 2017
