Submitted For Your Approval - One-hundred-seventy-first Installment

Here's a photo I took on August 26, 1976, FORTY-SIX YEARS AGO, when I made a one-week trip to British Columbia and Alberta.

We see a southbound BCOL freight holding the main at Mons (MP 77.4) as seen from the northbound Caribou Dayliner that is in the siding. This is all "dark territory" with hand-thrown switches.

In 1976, BCOL was using a lot of Montreal Locomotive Works (MLW) power, which was the Canadian equivalent to Alco locomotives in the U.S.A.
