This loaded coal train is nearing the top of Crawford Hill on Main 2, coming through a steep cut that was built in the early 1980s. For a long time, there was only a single track over Crawford Hill. Here at the summit, the single track when through a tunnel. When BN decided to add a second main, rather than bore a second hole, an new cut was created and the tunnel was left. The tunnel is not quite visible in the distance and to the right of the cut. The last train went through the tunnel on May 3, 1982.
