Rail fanning CP's Coquitlam yard

Me and to other guys were rail fanning CP's largest rail yard west of Calgary. There was not much activity because it was 12 o clock and most of the crews must of been having lunch.

As a Vancouver resident i was disappointed and a little embarrassed about CPs 2010 Olympic offering, frankly it sucked compared to the incredible Salt Lake 2002 SD70s paint scheme

Everyone be talking about the Olympics logo while ignoring the fact that there's a pair of vintage units including an ALCO right in front of the camera.

A turntable just to turn around, wow. That had to be more back in the day, no??

[@ocdaddvids]

Very cool how they are still using arguable "old school" means in a modern world to turn a loco.

Do like your video

#8876 still has the white stripe, but the Olympic logos have been patched over. I am not sure if any others are still like 8876 or not. All the other former Olympic units that I have seen have had the white stripe painted back to red.

When did you film this, all the olympic units were quickly repainted after Vancouver, were't they?

[@Kvr3005]

Thanks, this is only one half of the yard. The other half has the car shops and M.O.W equipment and the rest of the freight yard.
