CPKC Locomotives
Are there any published plans for CPKC:
+ to cull their older fleets
+ to restart the GE AC4400CWM rebuilds
+ re-paint to a CPKC scheme?
Also, other than St.Paul, when are the CPKC shops in the U.S.

Budd passenger cars
Guys,
This is a question about VIA Rail's Budd passenger equipment.
Not a 'CP' question, strictly speaking, but, they are ex CPR cars after all.
No doubt you guys are aware of the use of

Re: Removed Siding White River Sub.
I grew up getting to see trains stopping, all the tracks and switches, and
how the railway operates. Back in the day the towns wouldn't have existed
without the railway. Its part of history lost

Re: Removed Siding White River Sub.
Thank Ken. I will give that a look.
I could see lifting Carry as it was very short in length. It was the shortest siding on the Schreiber Divn in the 70's and 80's. When an HBD detector was installed

Re: Removed Siding White River Sub.

Re: Removed Sidings White River Sub. (and Cartier and Nemegos Subs)
Interesting that you say Carry. I had my 2019 edition of the CTG and the Ontario road map (which has some of the 'stops' along the CPR shown) while watching it I've since ordered the 2023 edition..

Re: Removed Sidings White River Sub. (and Cartier and Nemegos Subs)
They shrunk a 8 hour journey into a three hour tour (video).

Re: Removed Siding White River Sub.
I noticed a trend in the last several years that CP tends to favour
extending sidings out in the bush rather than in the town, maybe thats what
this is.
On the Nipigon sub, they extended the siding at

Removed Siding White River Sub.
I'll try again.
Watching 'Tripping The 185' on TVO last night, you can see west of Musk that a siding has been recently removed. It is on the 'north' side of the main. Just wondering if anyone knows
