Someone had asked within the last week or so where the Funtrain cars were
stored. They are sitting north of Kelowna in the former Hirem-Walker plant
at Winfield.

Pulled into Kelowna around noon on Feb 16 and was surprised to find two
trains pulled by M420s switching. Chased them north. At Lumby Jct. caught
three trains pulled by M420s within 15 minutes of one another:

16:32
KPR (Kelowna Pacific Railway) 3504 (coming from Lumby)

16:36
CN 3558 and CN 3557 with 8 cars from Kelowna. Lift a few more cars at the
junction and on north to Okan. Valley Railway Yard in Vernon
These two are leased by OmniTrax.

16:47
KPR 3500 and 3515 - northbound into KPR Vernon Yard.

The Okanagan is full of MLWs.

Then, leaving from Vernon:

17:25

CN1651 and 1652 (SD38-2s) and KPR 3500 and 3515 leave for Kamloops.

Also in KPR yard were 3571 and 3563 (both being worked on.)

Are any of these KPR units painted for Kelowna Pacific?

They have all had the CN noodle removed or partially removed, and in small
black letters KPR applied to each end. Nothing changed on the sides - all
units in zebra strips.
