Quite a series of photos. Would not have wanted to ride that locomotive down.

OH MY well this is very interesting. I’ve never seen a locomotive hang off the side of a mountain, like this. I do wonder what caused the rock slide. I guess CN might consider putting up barriers for rock slide reasons.
CP built through the Thompson Canyon first, and took the good side. About all CN can do there is put in more slide detector fencing.
Terrible.
WOW! Nice pictures.
Wonder how they plan to remove the seat cover from the engineers backside?
Talk about pucker factor…
On the other forum, someone asked how they (CN) plan to retrieve the fallen locomotive. Good question. How do you go about doing just that?[?]
Does not look too bad, probaly just winch it up.
Not like this one, they want to bury it on site:
DAAAAAANG!
