Bricks, glass and Action Red
Title:  Bricks, glass and Action Red
Description:  CP Rail S2 7076 works near the Vancouver waterfront in July 1977. According to X2200S, this was the second AlCo-design unit built by MLW, being delivered in Nov 1948; it was retired in 1984. The brick building behind it is certainly impressive.

Description:  A westbound loaded coal train runs over the Canadian Pacific south of Boston Bar near Hell's Gate BC. Two SD40-2s are up front and another pair are mid train.
