CN Drumheller Subdivision

CN operates the Drumheller subdivision in Alberta, for about 30 miles out of Sarcee Yard in Calgary. At one time it ran to Hanna, AB.

The section of track through Drumheller itself had not been operated since 2008, and the rails were removed starting in 2014. Drew De Bruyn documented the rail removal, as did many other people.
