Thanks! there will be a few more to come, plus videos.
I am shure most if not all of you will be suprized to know that all the photos i just posted were from my CELLPHONE's camera! (the rest will be from my regular camera)
also, more info on the trains that went through there:
train length averaged between 8000 and 10,000 feet and usualy had 2 locos up front and 1 in the rear if it was closer to the 10,000 mark. There was alot of chaos in the Jasper yard that day and they ended up making a HUGE 15,000ft train! (they threw 3 smaller ones together) Unfourtunatly we made the mistake in thinking it was an eastbound instead of a westbound so since we were on the east end of the yard we never seen it.
I forgot to add that another interesting loco we saw was a GP9 Slug!!!

Nice shots!
Love CN, they moved into the idea of running monster trains. Re-building most of their sidings to fit 10,000+ foot trains. That and all the odd-ball stuff you don't see down here in the states. Those MILW Auto Boxcars are a prime example! Again, sweet shots!
