How'd you know that? I did'nt know they were for sale! <br />My dad thought Tembec was holding them for the Cranbrook Railway Museum. <br /> <br />Actually, my dad says when we moved here in 1989, the switchers where already in disrepair. His guess is that they stopped moving in the early 80's <br /> <br />The sawmill in Canal flats used to be called Crestbrook Forest Industries (CFI for short.) Hence the name on the switcher. They have a main HQ in Cranbrook, where my dad works. <br /> <br />The sawmill in Elko used to be run by a lumber company in Crowsnest past before CFI (Now called Tembec) took it over. I forgot the name, but that's why there's a different logo on that one. <br />
