CP 496 with a nice trailer
Title:  CP 496 with a nice trailer
Description:  This somewhat boring shot tells the story of a hardcore lease freak. Originally I was at 44th Ave bridge (over BN's Northtown yard) and saw way down near 35th Ave that this train was entering Shoreham. So, the chase was on. A BN Z Train held this train (CP 496) in place long enough for me to arrive nearly 20 blocks away in time for a shot of the ex CNW 878!
