Detour movements over CN or CP are often emergency nature and of ad-hoc. Only insiders are usually aware of the priority trains and unless one is trackside with inside info from railway staff difficult to photograph. Flood detours in the Red River valley are frequent. Robert Gallager from Saskatoon at Diamond today. Shot 5-6 CN freights and Via no 1. I-Spy to follow on Mon or tues via telephone.

Another good laugh is CN's similar surplus assets page where a set of completely destroyed golf carts are offered and have been for sale for the better part of a year.

I'll have to research that, as I am looking at CN derailments causing detours onto CP for a future post!<br /><br />Watch for an upcoming post on operations at Queens (operations at Queen's would have to do with the Faculty of Medicine)!<br /><br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-69546017226659238892013-06-13T17:40:23.256-04:002013-06-13T17:40:23.256-04:00Oops, that would be "Queens"...not to be...Oops, that would be "Queens"...not to be confused with my alma mater.Bryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-87691079728441771742013-06-13T17:37:56.575-04:002013-06-13T17:37:56.575-04:00Interesting topic, and it's sort of amazing ho...Interesting topic, and it's sort of amazing how many CP detours you've managed to capture.<br /><br />Did CN detour to CP after that derailment west of Queen's a few years back?
