Adding A Caboose-Sulphur Train, It's all good

Well, it's been WAY TOO LONG since I last posted a video.

Sulfur/Sulphur
Yes, you are seeing the real thing... CP's candy-apple-red SD40-2 # 5797 attaching a caboose/Van to the end of a short-run train, and I am guessing that there will be a few brake-persons aboard for the switching movement... and I am guessing again that it is for some switching at the pulp mill.

I believe this video couldn't be duplicated... it was just lucky for me to catch this gem in the act that is VERY SELDOM ever seen.
Kamloops has at least three cabooses... two are numbered and the other one isn't readily seen numbered, but it's in this video.

Oh, somewhat continuing is a glamorous sulphur train coming to a halt... yes, blocking the last movement of the caboosed train. (You will hear me groan a bit.)
But, perhaps you haven't been around when such a train blasts through and... apply brakes to get a crew change before heading further west out of Kamloops... well, no complaints. It's an ES4400 # 8811... I guess it's a bit clean.

I tried my best at capturing the caboose & SD40-2 from between the sulfur train rolling past. A wee-bit of luck before disappearing behind a silver cylindrical PROCOR 40 foot covered hopper.

By the way, I did this from behind a chain-link fence... I had to hold the camera well over my head amidst the wind and challenging view... just hoping I got a good shot.
