For those of you who might be interested, I had a chance while I was on
vacation to watch the work train assigned to clean up the potash cars from
the derailment just east of Field. The line-up from East to West was:
CP434406 Caboose
CP403018 Golden Tool Car
CP404939 Golden Cable Car
CP421306 Cabin Idler
CP414400 150 TonCapacity Golden Auxiliary
CP337247 Gondola
CP414502 250 TonCapacity Golden Auxiliary
CP420950 Cabin Idler
CP6066
CP6055
Pretty impressive sight watching them get ready to drag the remaining three
potash cars up the hill from the Kicking Horse River. Of course that kind
of work tends to close the mainline down for an extended period of time.
