WINTER VALLEY REGIONAL RAILWAY

GALLERY

5604 and company use all their 10,000+ horses to accelerate 80 cars to walking speed. The conductor, swept up off the ground and onto the bottom step as they cross the highway, soon finds a warm and dry seat on the left side and everything moves west towards Wainwright and then Edmonton.

The relative comfort of the SD70i cab always means that these new, modern engines are relegated to act as lead units. The two GP40-2W’s, industry leaders in their day, supply the other 6000 hp needed to move the train but today they trail in the consist. Even in the model world it’s sometimes hard to see some of our old favourates running in second or third place.
