Canadian Pacific unit grain train gets help on the 2.2% grade in Rogers Pass BC. Power for Unit Grain & Coal trains before the 9 mile Mt. McDonald Tunnel was completed in 1988 consisted of 4 units on the head end , 2 units running remote mid train & 6 units cut in 20 cars ahead of the...

He's waiting for a yellow @ Riverview, to follow 346, with 347 + MP188 yard switcher waiting to head West.
Normally I'm not too exited about unit grain trains, as long as they're not hauling junk up front. But add a BCOL SD40-2 and it makes all...
Apparently there's such a thing. A cut of three on 347, surrounded by 105 center-beams and 15 other cars.
Before today I thought only narrow gauge lines still had these. Note the faded out # (the other two were BCOL 10359 & 10426?) and red color on the inside of the forks. Tree bark...

Whenever I go to railfan Difienbaker park, a fellow railfan Elijah, usually comes along with me since he lives nearby.
On this day we're shooting a E/B manifest with two Dash 8-40CM's for power! One CN, the other BCOL. As we were standing side by side our photo's turned out identical, so I'll...
BC Rail C36-7 3624 sits in the deadline at Homewood. This railway must be a sight to see operating, very nice paint schemes! This one wears the blue and white paint.
VERY rare BC Rail RS18s 608 and 609 sit in the deadline at Homewood with other various BC Rail engines, including more RS18s. Too bad CN is getting rid of these. Hopefully someone gets one.
