CN 570 (Mixed) @ Gates, BC. 28MAR2020. ET44AC 3167 Leading.

After a leisurely cruise along Seton and Anderson lakes, CN 570's crew now has their work cut out for them as they tackle the first of two grades with their loaded train. While it is a far cry from the days of BC Rail, when hundred car trains were the norm and manned helpers were required to get trains over the road, it is nonetheless entertaining to witness this train working to get up the hill...
