CP crane and trackwork

On my travels this weekend I swung by one of my favourite train-watching locations (see http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/23279-a-few-canadian-pictures/ ) and spotted this tucked off to the side:

A short hike up the service track (two muddy wheeltracks with 2" vegetation in the centre) gave some better views:

And its runner:

With it were a pair of ratty gons:

Obviously they had been doing some trackwork.To get to the service track I had to use this (these - there are two) as a stepping stone (the beginning of the track was a mud bog):

And hidden in the grass:

(Pardon the shoes, it was the only dry place to stand)

There was the remains of another switch hidden in the grass.

They had also been renewing rail, with annotations:

Although I'm not that impressed:

As I got back to the bridge, I managed to catch this:

Of course, one CP and one CN freight came through as I left (saw them from the road while driving).
