Railfanning the CP Laggan Sub (Canmore, Banff, Kicking Horse Pass)

Описание: On my way back to the U.S. from Japan, I dropped by Canada and I got to railfan the scenic Canadian Pacific Laggan Sub! I had such a great time there, as I got to catch several CP trains and a Rocky Mountaineer at a few locations along this scenic line! I haven't seen any CP powers since last year July, but finally I get to catch some for the first time in 2016! Enjoy!

A very short one gondola CP local heads east through Canmore with a pair of ECOs, which makes it my first CP EMD leader!
CP GP20C-ECO #2323
CP GP22ECO #2231

1:01 After waiting for another hour, CP 112, an intermodal/autorack mix from Vancouver to Montreal, heads east through Canmore with an interesting consist running 2x1x1!

7:19 After CP 112 passed, moments later, it was followed by an eastbound Rocky Mountaineer train arriving into Banff station! I was lucky enough to catch this one, cause this was my only opportunity to catch that since I was in the scenic part of Canada.

9:42 After the Rocky Mountaineer passed, I was told from a photographer that CP 199 was the next train, so I waited for another hour to make the catch. CP 199 running 1x1 heads west through Banff. This is also my 2nd time to catch CP 8811 leading too (I remember catching CP 8811 leading a SB BNSF manifest through Rosenberg on November 2013 before)!

13:35 Just west past Lake Louise, a westbound CP potash train running 2x1x1 battles the grade as it approaches the eastern end of Kicking Horse Pass with my 2nd CP cab numberboard GEVO on the lead! The trailing unit and the DPU sure were smoking on this one, and I even got some horns on the lead unit too!
