CN Q111 rolls through Capreol alongside the railway museum

Typical northern railroading: An ESSO truck refuels 2568 at Capreol while train 112 gets a new crew. The temperature is well below 35 Celsius.

The interior of INCX 116, a retired GE 100-ton electric box cab monster that used to live in the nickel mines around the Greater Sudbury Area.

The crew of train 313 have just completed their run to Capreol where a fresh crew will take it further north and west.

After waiting for what seemed like an eternity for 112 to double its train and proceed south, 2229 leads another GE and a solid intermodal out of Capreol Yard.

CN 5323 and 5618 lead X314 out of Capreol in the last few rays of perfect winter light.

CN 6077 sits on display way up in Capreol, Ontario along side a whole bunch of Inco mining electric engines and other railway paraphernalia.

CN 6077 sits on static display in Capreol, Ontario along with a variety of other interesting local railway artifacts including INCO boxcab electrics and various mining equipment.

It's a long trip to Toronto: A CWR extra runs south on the Bala Subdivision with BCOL 4605 trailing.

A rather odd movement seen in my eyes due to the fact I have never been this north and this train isn't daily but A 486 roars through Suez with a pair of cowls pulling half continuous weld rail an... (more)

An odd looking set of power rests at CN's Capreol facility in May 1987. SW 1371 is lashed up to 7105 and 9495. It might have been a little scary to get the call for this job.
