A race of sorts is occurring out of Ashcroft, British Columbia, on September 1, 2007. Lone Canadian National EMD SD60F No. 5554 powers an empty unit sulphur train eastbound, while on the other side of the Thompson River, an eastbound Canadian Pacific empty unit coal train led by a lone GE AC4400CW gives chase. Who makes it out of the Thompson River Canyon at Savona first is dependent on westbound train traffic and the railroad’s dispatchers.
