Summary
[edit]
| Description |
Probably at Revelstoke, BC, taking on fuel rather than the oil (or coal) water and sand (oops, almost forgot, it takes on sand too) replenishment needed by its steam-powered predecessors. The steam in the picture is from a steam generator to heat the passenger cars as was the practice till long after Viarail took over passenger service and eventually converted its passenger equipment to electric heat. I shouldn't have to guess at the meaning of the green flags but my brief braking (and B Book) days were long ago. I think they indicate running as a second section of a scheduled train. The CPR colour scheme was rather subdued compared to a lot of railroads but has come, over the years, to seem dignified. It seems appropriately dignified on the head end of the luxury Royal Canadian Pacific excursion trains run out of Calgary. Canadian Pacific Railway could be called a fallen flag since its name change to the rather drab and unimaginative 'CP Rail' with a new and not even remotely dignified colour scheme. Just my humble opinion, of course, but widely shared, I'll bet. |
