Great Shots, Chris
Back When 3rd PPCLI was based at Work Point in Victoria, the battalion would ship its heavy equipment by rail to Wainwright, Alberta for the annual wargames.
Once I figure out how to post some of my old photos, I will fire off some of CP loading up and assembling the annual army train in Victoria.
This train was made up of about 40 x 89ft Trailer Train flats, each carrying 2 or 3 peices of equipment, depending on the size of each peice and pulled by 3 x GP9 units.
The entire train, including loco's and caboose was about 3,800 feet long and while it pales in comparison with the mainland trains, it is still 3 times the length of any siding on the entire E&N and, indeed taxed the capacity of Victoria's yard.
Cheers!
