| Remarks & Notes |
| Going out in a blaze of glory. The final ore train from Evtac's Fairlane plant is stopped at milepost 51 after having started a major brush fire. The crew noticed their units were throwing carbon and starting fires so they smartly stopped. Shortly after this shot was taken water bombers and helicopters arrived to battle the blaze. The good news is the Evtac plant reopened under new ownership later in 2003 and today is a major shipper for CN. 212 continues to work for CN as well wearing CN colors. |
