Out of Place

Postby Bushman » Sat Jan 23, 2010 8:50 pm

I,ve been eyeing this old 143 for a few years now, so finally i had the opportunity to wander up to this location with the camera and zoom in to varify. and what i suspected all along was confirm (an old Canadian Pacific 170) in what appears to be some kinda clear or off clear possibly with a purple tint..I,ve found approximately 10-12 of these canpac.so far,However what is amazing is all the Canpac where found on the Old Canadian Northern Railway line , now (C,N,R)..Out of Place, yes, Found on the Cn line,in locations some 100 miles apart in areas.Can i explain NO...Just a little tid-bit, ya never know what you may find .

I found this GTP (here frozen in the ground) under a CNR pole outside of Calgary a few years back.
