BN Western Star arriving

BN Western Star arriving
BN train 27, the Chicago to Seattle Western Star, arrives GFND behind an E9/F7B/E8 set of power. This view looks to the west from the depot platform; the roundhouse is about a mile down the tracks. Note the ex GN E7A sitting to the left, which had cut off from the Winnipeg train and would soon head for the barn. Scanned from an Instamatic (126) slide
