Skeena Pacific Video

Next along was CPKC Train #804, a coal empty with added power. With a nice wave from the cab, CP8760 is leading Union Pacific UP3033, CP9709 and CP9707. The mid-train is CP8818, with CP8012 on the rear. The trackside detector at Mile 90.0 reported 644 axles. The action is caught just west of the Squilax Turtle Valley Road grade crossing at about Mile 87.4 of the CPKC Shuswap Subdivision, at CPKC Squilax and the nearby community of Squilax, British Columbia, Canada.

The coal train is interesting, four CP diesel locomotives and a UP diesel locomotive that pull and push this train. Have a nice Sunday
