-41C? If you don't mind my asking, where do you live? Somewhere in Nunavut?

64Warhorse, I live in Saskatoon. Lots of sunshine but a little on the chilly side!
Cheers, Jack

Jack, yeah, my father was born in Saskatoon, he used to tell me about winters there. I'm an Ottawa boy myself, we see -40 maybe once in a decade. Scheduled for -23 later this week, which is about as chilly as it normally gets hereabouts.
Meanwhile, more pics from the Rocky Mountains, this time near Banff.

Jack - that's pretty cold up there!

Nice screenshots 64Warhorse.

Its not a train, nor a plane, but a oil ship entering Newbury Harbour

Thank you, hiawathamr, that's quite a compliment, coming from you. :wave: Here's some more pictures, from a westbound run over the Continental Divide.
At the hump:
Easing downhill on the west side. The dynamic brakes hold the train easily enough, but even at mid-level throttle settings, the rumble of 22,000 HP of diesels fills the valley.
Heading into the upper Spiral Tunnel:
... and out the bottom of the lower tunnel, as we find that the train is just long enough for us to enjoy the rare sight of the back end crossing over to enter the tunnel. Tehachapi Loop may be more famous, but we have nicer scenery!

Later in the trip, we drift slowly downhill. There's plenty of time to take in the view, with the track speed set at a miserably low but utterly necessary 15 mph.
We arrive at Field, BC. Edgar smiles, knowing that his hour-plus wait for me to clear the long single track section west of the Spiral Tunnels is almost over ...
... while Andrew just shakes his head, knowing he'll have LOTS of time to finish his crossword puzzle, before getting his own green light to the tunnels ...
... and just as we reach the west end of the holding yard, Charlie arrives to wait his turn. Perhaps the crew at the big house will have some fresh gossip to share?
And finally, the river's flood plain widens as we approach Ottertail.

I like that shot with the ship, hiawathamr. Very nice!
The mountains look great 64Warhorse. We stop at the Spiral Tunnels everytime we go past there and almost always manage to catch a train going through.
Wanted to visit Ottawa last summer but this Covid business put an end to those plans. Not sure about this year but one day we'll get there.
Cheers, Jack

Thank you! TRS19 CRM Ottertail to Castle Junction is one. There should be another one for TANE, and I think they were originally in the Laggan Sub route in TRS12, can't remember if that one was also partitioned into several smaller chunks.

Thank you, Jack. The plague has messed up a lot of plans, but at least it gives us more time to play with our trains ...

Newbury industrial park we catch a ex-GT unit in its paint scheme as it pulls a string of cars from the industries that are down the line.

I bought Roy's CRM routes in TRS12, and they were beautiful then. They've become quite stunning in TRS19. Check under "Purchased" in the Content Store before you buy, depending on your membership level, you may be already entitled to all of the CRM routes.

Today we're on the Beavermouth to Ottertail segment of the CRM route. We start out on the northe end of the Windermere sub, a few miles south of the Golden yard.
The sun is just coming up over the mountains
A few minutes later, it is beginning to light up the tracks at the south end of the yard
Soon, we're out the north end of the yard ...
... and back into the shadows, on the Mountain sub main, where we meet an eastbound mixed freight

Rolling along at 50 mph with two big diesels rumbling contentedly in your ears, the early morning feels amazingly peaceful
Golden Gravel & Sand
The scenery never disappoints
The traffic gods are in a good mood today. Just as we come to a halt for the red signal west of Donald, Adair clears the block ahead of us and the light goes green.
And soon, we're crossing the river. Somehow, I managed to time the shot so that none of the bridge superstructure got into the picture

At Redgrave, Edgar salutes us with a blast from his horn as he takes his empty tankers back to Calgary for a refill
(You can't really tell from a still picture, but the moving water effect here looks really great!)
Close to Beavermouth, the river is glassy smooth
... and, a bit less than two hours after starting out, we end what has been a very pleasant run in Beavermouth
