Canfor RR 1997

Canada's last logging railroad hauling raw timber from forest to tidewater, the Englewood Railway. Owned by Canadian Forest Products at the time of this video, it is now owned by Western Forest Products. The date of the video is September, 1997 and stopping in at the Headquarters building at Woss yielded a guided tour of the Woss reload and a cabride from Camp A to Siding 6 to watch the two crews exchange trains. They were just starting the process of repowering their EMD's with Cat engines, with the 304 being the first example just back from the shop. I was glad to catch the road trains with matched sets in the old colors. See the article in October 2012 TRAINS magazine for current info on operations.
