Northern Alberta Six Pack - a photo on Flickriver

            In 2022 I could have gone to the MRL, or the Iron Range, but I decided to forgo the crowds of photographers and head back to Northern Alberta with a good friend in tow.
Our goal was to shoot GP40's on CN's Manning and Meander River subdivisions, both of which are restricted to 4 axle locomotives. That's 377 Miles of rail stretching from Roma Junction Alberta to Hay River Northwest Territories, which is a lot of ground to cover. 
In three days we shot a "Disgusting" amount of GP40-2W models on the line, which is a pretty decent outcome considering a lot of the running is done overnight.
Our first day netted this six pack of geeps hauling train L532 south at Mile 12 of the Manning Sub. The trailing 2 units and the head end block of cars were part of a work train that was lifted by the daily L532 at Manning.
I'd never thought the IC 3140 could fuck up a perfect consist, but the Unicorn of the fleet is now assigned to the North, and seems to get along with it's Canadian cousins.
