The 4643 and 4622 along with their four carloads of ballast plus a manned caboose are departing the north end of the yard at Chetwynd to go and dump ballast near the 665 mile.
Think my camera is gonna go into withdrawl when the BCR becomes CN.

I found RS-18C #612 and B36-7 #3613 switching woodchip cars in BC Rail's North Vancouver yard on a dull overcast day. Trying to grab as many photos as possible before the end.
The SQPG is rounding the horseshoe curve at Pavilion on it's climb up to Kelly Lake.
Get your pictures of BCRail now before it falls to the CN. After the sale to CN, who knows how traffic patterns will change.
Here the PGSQ is rounding a 12 degree curve south of Glenfraser. This area is a desert region of British Columbia and is known for sage and cactus and about 11" of annual rainfall. When I took this picture, a crack of thunder and about an half an inch of rain fell in about 10 minutes...
The PGSQ is heading south along the Birkenhead River just north of Creekside siding on the Squamish sub. This train also has manned helpers cut in approx. 35 cars back.

On an overcast day, the PGSQ (4654 south)has just left Tisdal and is tackling the last 30 minutes of it's steep climb upto Mons.
The train could be heard for several minutes before passing this location as well as it whistling for two nearby logging road crossings. The locomotive whistle has...
Quite the climatic and geographic contrast to the real area 51, and with no U.F.O. or Elvis sightings, the only airborne sightings here would be dozens of Bald Eagles in the winter months. In this view the PGSQ is approaching mile 51 at the south end of the Cheakamus Canyon. The majority of...
British Columbia Railway 4644 South heads out of Chetwynd BC heading towards the Pine Pass in the fall of 1998. The hills in the background are all that remain of the Rocky Mountains & within a few miles north the landscape becomes flat farm land.
