[quote]QUOTE: On those Units, the CPR Front was the End with the Grey going to Top of Hood and the Three Horizontal Yellow Stripes on Radiator Shutters, Just Like " Front" of other CP Diesel Locomotive prior to their Uglification with the 'Multi Mark' Paint Scheme in 1968.[/quote] I actually like the "Multimark". [quote]QUOTE: ]Asking around the Mill at the Flats, or at Elko, for that matter, might Turn Up Bells and other Plates. Place Ad offering Cash for same in Kootenay Advertiser or Tembec Magazine. Put Ad on Bulletin Boards at Mill. Probably an "Inside Job" as would take Guts to sneak in there off the Street. CP 14 was right next to Big Burner.[/quote] Actually, it is (or WAS) at the far end of the lumber yard, not far from the metal waste site for the mill (Also called the "Boneyard"). #15 was near the edge of the mill property. I Guess I could suggest that to Fort Steele. while on the subject of moving, I was there to see #15 being moved. I took those photos on the one forum you posted the link to. [quote]QUOTE: Bell probably on someone's Patio at the Flats. There is a Photo of CP 14 on a 'Train' on the Spur handling Two Flats and a Caboose in 1978 belonging to Adolf Hungry Wolf in the Book 'Rails in the Canadian Rockies' by Adolf Hungry Wolf, copies of which can be found at the Library or the Railway Museum.[/quote] Did #14 work in the kootenays? While I'm on it, it sort of sound like you work for the Cranbrook Railway museum! [quote]QUOTE: CP 14 did not last much longer after this Special Train. The Logs are on Skeleton Flats modified by Crestbrook c. 1977 from about 20 Ex CP 1929 Flat Cars. These Skeleton Flats were in Captive Service Haulling Logs from Parson to Canal Flats. These Flats were Painted Dark Green, carried Reporting Marks 'CFLX' and the Crestbrook Diamond Crest. If you are intrerested, a later version of these Crestbrook Skeleton Flats can be seen Without Trucks in Tembec's Log Yard in Cranbrook behind their Truck Scale beyond where they are Scrapping those Freight Cars at Boston Pizza. [/quote] So that explains those flat cars! [8D] Cool!
