Skeena Pacific #1717 CP Work Train Taft Road Crossing, Mile 24.4 Shuswap Sub 2022 05 12

With the visit from a good friend from the Lower Mainland, we decided to head trackside and I took him to my favoured spot at Taft Road grade crossing, Mile 24.4 of Canadian Pacific's Shuswap Subdivision. First along was an eastbound work train with rip-rap loads hurrying east. CP5766 is leading CP6069.
