Railfaning the KPR and OVR

[David]

Matt (TrainboyH16-44) and I went railfaning yesterday on the Okanagan Sub. Here are my best shots of the day. ;D

1. All the OVR's Power can be seen here in this one shot. 1006 is out (outside. Get it? LOL ) for repairs.


2. 2506 and 3550 get there train ready at OVR's main yard.


3. The Okanagan's only remaining MLW is seen here.


4. Another view of OVR's power.


5. A trio of KPR power backs up to do a little switching at the Lumby Junction. While taking the shot some weirdo put his head in the way of my shot. LOL


6. Personally I think this is my best shot of the trip. I might even submit it to Railpictures.Net. ;D


7. One of only a few remaining cars with the Dogwood logo was on the train.


8. The train continues its switching as we head over Kal Bridge.


9. As we start to head back to my place we stop on the Bridge above the KPR's main yard and get a good overview shot.


I hope you all enjoyed the shots! Feel free to post yours to Matt.

Great shots... I was wondering the crane there... is it under CN... or is it under KPR?

[David]

Yes, the crane belongs to the KPR and acually its the only peice of rail equipment that the KPR owns.

Thanks for the comments Guys! ;D

Ya you would think eh? They have only had to use it a couple times in teh last 8 years. Once after a tank car collision, and once after the Wine Train derailed. They do own some Hi-railers too.

Dammit Hicks, in the way of everything...

Just like last time when he came here, almost walked in front of the Vid, In the way of the train (we wont go there )

And now my water bottle is somewhere under the bridge on the BCR ROW
