Fraser Valley Staples - a photo on Flickriver

            The now long abandoned code line that litters CN's mainline in the Fraser Valley is once again subjected to witness one of the many coal trains kicking up coal dust bound for export to Asia. With 5 loads and 5 empty's running in and out of Vancouver daily to and from Sparwood alone, it's safe to say these poles have stood  to witness tens of thousands of these movements and will stand to see thousands more.
