09:15 Monday, 5 Feb 2007 - Basque, British Columbia - The morning dawned, grey and overcast as usual. This location is railway west ( south ) of Ashcroft and close to the eastern end of co-production trackage which ends at Coho on the Canadian National or Nepa on Canadian Pacific. Reaching Coho/Nepa would require crossing a fenced area posted "no trespassing" so I made due with Basque. The CN tracks are on the left with a Westbound freight moving along. CPR trackage was empty as a Maintenance of Way crew held a T.O.P. ( Track Occupancy Permit ) for some purpose. They moved their hi-rail onto the track at the visible crossing then headed east, out of sight around the hill to the right.
