CPR switching in North Richmond, BC

[Nathanrailfan]

What do they need shortlines for if CN and CP do it for them?  -__-

[CurtisTuch]

I have nothing against CP, but their image is hideous... The marketing department needs to be offed by firing squad. Unacceptable.

do they ever use this spur anymore?

Great Shot!!!

I have lot of photos of those switchers and that sad looking CP caboose. It so needs a new home, Like my BACKYARD!!!

2 SW1200RS (Pups)!!! I used to see these in Winnipeg, not much anymore, and a Yellow CPR Caboose, great shot!

Oh,nice. A caboose at the end of the train. That is unusual to see it today.

See a caboose at the end of the train.

Good job.

Hi Sylvain, the caboose is only used for local switching, it's just used as an extension for the locos, it mainly just sits in the South Van O Yard slowly being beatin to death, poor thing.
