EMDs on CPKC Montana Sub - Warner to Coutts, Alberta

While on our way down to Montana, to spend a few days on the former MRL mainline, ‪@boxcar-media‬ and I came across CPKC B08-30. The train makes a daily run on the aptly named CPKC Montana Sub from Lethbridge to interchange with the BNSF at Sweetgrass, Montana. Our first spot was the elevators at Warner and then we chased the train south to the international border at Coutts, Alberta. We'll see the train at Warner and then climbing the 1% grade towards Milk River, from the side of the highway. On the north end of Milk River, we caught the train passing an old homestead and farm, before heading south to catch the train passing some salt flats 8 miles from Coutts. We'll end the video with the train arriving at Coutts, and dropping off their cars for the BNSF to pick up. The power will head south into Sweetgrass, to retrieve their train for the return trip to Lethbridge.

CPKC B08-30: CP 5007, CP 6231, CP 5036 - 58 cars

If you're ever in the area, it is well worth the detour to shoot a train on this line!
