Dashing through the snow as it climbs Kicking Horse Pass is CPKC train 301, a grain train heading west to Vancouver, British Columbia. Canadian Pacific AC4400CW 8576 and Union Pacific SD70ACe 8942 are leading this train, with CP ES44AC 8750 and Norfolk Southern AC44C6M 4330 (ex-NS Dash 8-40CW 9101) as the mid-train Distributed Power Units, and CP AC4400CW 8600 for the rear DPU. The train is about to exit the "sucker hole" of sunshine (with snow still falling) and duck into the cloud cover again. (Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada – April 17, 2023)
