In reply to Jason Sailer. You can keep busy watching passing trains too. That line is so busy!

In reply to Chris Doering. Yeah the station was in rough shape - it looks beautiful now in your shots, I should try to get out there to see it in person!

In reply to Jason Sailer. It looked awful! The guys who fixed it up told us it was a huge mess and it only got worse the deeper in they got. It sounded like they may even have thought of giving up. Nice train shot. No graffiti!

In reply to Chris Doering. CN SD60 unit (#5502) & another CN locomotive are part of a train heading through Viking, AB in June 1990. The train is passing by the closed GTP - CN station that was later renovated into a Tea Room / Art Gallery. Richard Yaremko photograph, part of my personal slide collection

In reply to Jason Sailer. You have to show us some time! You can even post it in these comments if you like.

Nice! I have a slide of the station from the early 1970s
