Remarks & Notes

After SD40 5979 assisted the westbound VIA Train 1 over Kicking Horse Pass (previous photo), another SD40 numbered 5679 helped Train 1 up the 2.2% grades of Rogers Pass and has cut off at Glacier, B. C., 99 miles further west from where the previous photo was taken, Aug. 13, 1981. SD40 5679 is now in the siding since Train 1 has essentially conquered the Selkirks where the fireweed was in bloom.
