Remarks & Notes |
CP 5592 leads a westbound freight through Lytton, BC at the confluence of the Thompson and Fraser Rivers. The train features an icicle breaker car about 5 cars back from the locomotives. This equipment would be used during winter and spring to break icicles in tunnels to protect open auto racks of the era. This train had some piggyback, auto racks and truck tractors on flat cars further back in the train. |
