The Mikado from Vancouver's Canadian Pacific roundhouse arrived yesterday pulling a consist of dump cars for the logging industry near Great Falls. Along with this light consist were three old Canadian Pacific passenger cars, including a rail post. Unfortunatley for the PGE these cars do not seem to be built for the tight curves of the PGE's mainline. During retrofits for allowing the coaches to navigate the mainline one of the coaches has been written off as salvage due to rusty trucks and floorboards.
CNR's Heavy Mountain and coaches is in Calgary awaiting her crew which is leaving on the next train from Vancouver to Calgary this week. Delivery has once again been delayed.
