Yard grab
Title:  Yard grab
Description:  I was able to get a grab shot off the train as we passed the yard in St John. Alcos in the house-an RS 23 and a C424. The RS 23's were common, and held down a variety of local and yard assignments. Some would get assigned to the D&H when CP took over the following year.

Idling in the night
Title:  Idling in the night
Description:  The Atlantic stopped at McAdam, its last stop in Canada, which is also a base for several locals. A pair of RS 23s and a van wait out the night as we take care of business. I was able to set up long enough to get a shor of the slumbering Alcos.
