No scale.

The unloaders at Roberts Bank handle plenty of cars from CP, CN as well as BCOR and BNSF. CITX, CP, CN, BNSF, NOKL, ALMX - all types of cars...aluminum, bathtub, you name it are dumped there - so I don't think it's a problem.

The closest places to actually turn the cars if the ends are facing the wrong way is either in Intalco, WA or the "squealer" track in Thornton Yard, BC (CN). IIRC, there is a track for wrong way facing cars at Roberts Bank that can go through the dumpers the opposite direction seperately.

The BN/BNSF loaded (they're always loaded) coal cars are the older black or silver BN with a green end, spanking new rapid discharge wedgies, or something in the middle like the oxide-coloured ends with the round BNSF logo.

It's all BN/BNSF coal cars sitting at Colebrook. Sometimes the odd UP/CMO car. About 15 yesterday. Colebrook is situated slightly East of the junction of Highway #91 and #99 in South Surrey. It's all farmland, and no reason for anything other than two short set-out tracks. There used to be a stationhouse (still visible on Google Earth) located East of the two tracks. The other main is actually Colebrook siding that handles standard CP/CN coal train meets. Most intermodals are too long for Colebrook siding, and meet at Pratt, another 5 miles East of Colebrook.

It is the last siding before the staging/setout tracks going into Roberts Bank (called Gulf). All trains past Gulf are handled and governed by Port employees.
