Engines 5717, 5549, 5714, 3008, and 3006 pull a westbound manifest into the siding at Donald, BC on July 19, 1981.

A short time later, engines 5808, 5828, 5760, 5758 pull an empty coal train passed the manifest train. Cut in two thirds deep are engines 5757, 5765, 5684 with robot car 8. This would not turn out to be a good day as the car developed vapor lock and refused to start. While I was trying to resolve that problem the right rear tire went flat.
