Rebuilt GEEPS pulling baretables west  Contributor's Pick!       
Canadian Pacific Belt Pack/RCO yard job brings empties across Victoria Drive into Williston Yard. Power is a pair of rebuilt GP9us. In the back sits the power for RS-1 (road switcher), the twice daily to Coquitlam and back. We are at about milepost 126. The lead unit came to CP from GMDD in 08/1955 and was rebuilt by CP/Ogden in 1986. The second unit was delivered in 1954 from GMDD as CP 8487, and was rebuilt in 1985. These were originally CP class DRS-17a.

Tyler Welsford General Nice photo, but that appears to be a Beltpack/RCO yard job. The RS-1 power is off to the right in the background. CP and CN in Vancouver tend to keep the Beltpack/RCO's restricted to yard jobs. 9/13/2007 12:21:59 PM
