Question: What is this "Wye" that everyone is talking about?
-
@Shaysteamjamb .... Hi Guys, yes that would be cool!! I'd buy a ticket for sure. A great idea but CP would never go for it at all. I know hoggers inside. The high brass want nothing to do with rail history, as evident with 2816 slowly breaking down. Enough of me on my soap box. Myself and a close friend walked into the Wye at Rogers last summer and it's still there!!! yaaaaa!!! Took many pictures from many angles. Truly a awesome piece of Canadian Railroad history.

Back in 2003, CP utilized the pushers while one of the tunnels on the Mac line was being repaired. Used 4 AC 4400's. Would have been a cool sight to see.

@imagreatbigman 111, not counting cabooses or locomotives

10 locomotives for 111 coal cars!!

Sweet sweet music!!
I wish CP would set aside a weekend in the middle of summer to allow fans just one more opportunity to see this again. The sights and sounds are breathtaking. It would be a hit! Do it while there are still enough SD40-2's around!
We should start a petition. Retirees could run the pusher trains and the company could still use the Mac Track for revenue trains. Maybe sell tickets with the revenue going to a good cause? I don't think the idea is that far fetched.

@UncleLarrysVault Interesting idea! Gotta a gut feeling , though, the CPR would resist decisively. For one thing, the infrastructure might not be there anymore (like the wye).
