Canada, April 2003.
22nd April 2003

These pictures were taken in April 2003 mainly around Calgary. I would like to thank Alstom and Canadian Pacific for allowing me on to their sites. Some of these pictures were scanned from prints and so the quality is not as good as could be.

The trip also took in Banff, Lake Louise, Kicking Horse Pass and the famous Spiral Tunnels and the crew change point at Field in British Columbia

UPDATE - Some more pictures added of Alstom's Loco Works in Calgary on a very foggy day. Added 4.12.06
