CPKC Railway train 113, an intermodal train heading from Hochelaga, Québec, to Coquitlam, British Columbia, is westbound on CPKC’s Laggan Subdivision, paralleling the Bow River. Canadian Pacific ES44AC 9379 and AC4400CWM 8020 (with AC4400CW 9800 as the mid-train Distributed Power Unit) are passing through the town of Exshaw, at an elevation of about 1371 metres (4500-feet). Across the river are 2,451-metre (8,041-feet) tall Mount McGillivray and Pigeon Mountain (2,394-metre [7854-feet] in height) to its west. The Canadian Rockies are deeply impressive, and we have just started our journey into these mountains. (Exshaw, Alberta, Canada – April 17, 2023)
