Track Gang on the CP         
The notation on this old cabnet photograph says: - Ballast Train Canadian Pacific Ry. Moose River July 1st 1888 - There are 10 cars with 5 or 6 men per car.... It looks as though theyve just shoveled some sandy ballast off these flat cars. I expect their next job will be to ride the train back to the track side pit and reload them. Ive always wondered what sore of machine dug this wide ditch and did such a uniform job of it. C2018 this is Central Maine and Quebec track. /DL
