    E&N Day 2003

    I hope all goes according to plan. Too bad the E&N refuses to haul over the hump into Port Alberni. We could have had some E&N equipment on display.

    What if??(KV Div might enjoy this one)(link)

    What if CP, instead of abandoning the last of the KVR in 1990, spun it off as a regional line?? Would there be locomotives in the KVR yard in Penticton wearing this paint?? http://community.webshots.com/photo/83583717/83583840vhjwZP

    What's the deal with CP 7009?

    Radiator fans. Note of interest, the 7009 is a H-16-66, CP didn't have any on its roster, all CP's Trainmasters were H-24-66's, numbered in the 8900 series. CP had H-16-44's in the 8500, 8600, and 8700 series, most of which were assigned to the Kettle Valley and Kootenay Divisions.

    6 units in Wellcox, plus I'm guessing at least 2 road units in Vic West and at least 1 SW8. Sure beats the 2 operational GP38's that they have now.
