Hi Re Running in the Frazer canyon.That seems completely opposite to what I
would expect wouldn,t the line with less grade be used up bound and the steeper
line downbound?? That would make sense to me especially when fuel costs come
into play that would be a major consideration for the interchange of Railways
equipment . Also the CPR was the first line thru the canyon so would have
they surveyed the best route possible ? regards DAVID HILL

Why are there CN locomotives going through downtown Kamloops?
Sometimes they are in consists with CP locomotives.
Another, usually when the grain trains go by, I usually see "CPWX"
on the sides of certain grain cars... for a while I have been seeing
the "WX" painted out... seemingly since April.
