Telephone Pole
Title:  Telephone Pole
Description:  Like medeival sentinals, thousands upon thousands of poles just like this one line#CN track pretty well coast to coast. It probably served as a multi-purpose pole. I believe that these ones were planted when this section, of what is now CN Bala Subdivision, was built in the!1950s. Kind of a neat reflection on communication in the pre-digital era. And still standing resolute in the frozen marsh at Zephyr Creek.

CN 4132
Title:  CN 4132
Description:  Catch of the day. I love these old GP9s that appear every once and a while on a CN ereighter, still putting in a full day's work. I suppose in 50 or 100 years people will be looking at these the same way we view steam locomotives today. This beauty rolled off the line in 1957.
