CPRail GP 38-2's. 5 or 6 of them, don't have all the numbers, but I know 3004, 3007, and 3039 for sure. This was back in the late 80's when they were running the lumber out of the O.K. Falls Weyerhauser spur at the end of the Princeton Subdivision. Cab rides they were, too, along Skaha Lake. I remember the engineer was Nick Marra and the brakeman was nicknamed Fat Boy. Those guys were sure tolerant of a keen young railnut. <br />Sorry for all the details here, but those were fun times for a teenager. I have also had the opportunity to move a CN loco, honestly don't know what, about 50 feet down a yard track, with an accommodating engineer giving instructions. I put the engine brakes on too quick and made the cars all come crashing down the slack. Great Fun!
