Great chase!!
CN is in talks with a company about converting some bowls into hybrids and others full electric like CP Rail has done and how successful the CP one has been. Some will be saved thank God. These and the GMD-1 are my number 1 locos.
Nick Morant would have been right at home here! Great video!
Cool video, well done!
What day and months those the train operate
@@MapleLeafC It operates during the summer mostly, but occasionally in spring and fall. Its schedule is never published, and runs on as "as required" basis.
Thanks because I’m really trying to get a video of the train on my channel
Traveler: "The Rocky Mountaineer is really expensive. But I want something even more expensive and luxurious." CP: "Hold my beer."
the narrator's pronounciation of Calgary sounds strange. AI?
@@PeterNGloor No, not AI. He just pronounced it as it is spelled.
Only $14,000 ish each to ride , Hope they have Caviar on board .
Can you answer my question where is the CPs Ogden park?
@@MapleLeafC It's in Calgary Alberta. Not a public place though, it's private property owned by the railway. It's part of their headquarters campus.
Though I will never ride this train, I would hope if smoking is allowed, I hope there is a "smoking car". Nothing would deter its luxury with smoked-up rooms.
The early 2400s CN provided used wheels and trucks to GE to save costs. The cowl were horrible units to operate and because of their wide bodies hosling onto the train required the trainman to used radio signals instead of hand signals. Tough to climb up as stairs twisted to the front
Where is part 3?
What a cool video of the cowl units. I sure miss the old “sergeant stripe” CN livery.
@@chooch9816 Me too. Another era faded into the historic books...
What a great video… 👍
@@chooch9816 Thank you!
We rode on the train there back when it first opened as a tourist run in the late 1990s. If I recall correctly the train only made a 10-15 minute trip back then, with the engine pushing the entire way. I don't think they could cross any of the bridges then. Good memories.
I watched the train video In its entirety. Great narration as well.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very interesting story on rhe 7019. I also like seeing 5931 as well.great video as always my friend!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
By the way, on the mid train DPU on 113 in this clip is now painted in the new CPKC livery a month ago
Well for some reason, Ive never seen any of your videos till today, so Yes I subscibed, Amazing video.
Awesome Documentary
I got pictures of the SD50F leading intermodals trains in Ontario.
Music ruined the wonderful steam and engine sounds.
The only CN Cowl that I’ve seen was 2430 when I saw it leading an empty flatcar train a few years ago.
Such an inspiring and admirable video, remembering those places I visited just some days ago, and of course watched some trains. I had returned home, but I'm wishing to come back as soon as life permits!
So glad you enjoyed it! British Columbia is a beautiful province, and watching trains while visiting makes it even better.
Nice seeing both of these rare locomotives well preserved. I wonder if it may be a good idea to build a roof over them to help protect the engines from the weather.
It’s not just the weather. From what I’ve heard Road salts have bean beating up 5931, and that’s what caused the rods to get in such horrible shape
Roof would still be nice though, as always
why hasnt some of that oil money gone into making the Selkirk run. Damn I would like to see it charge over Rogers Pass and Field Hill.
I'd rather have CP 5931 be restored to operation by the CP steam program at Ogden
Stunning cinematography! Well done!
Thank you!
Very cool clip. Alberta is soooo much more than just Edmonton, Calgary and on weekends Banff, Jasper and in the summer, Sylvan Lake... There are literally hundreds of cool ghost towns just like this. I just wish Alberta would put its money where its mouth is, start its provincially owned rail concern, and relaunch upgraded services to all parts of Alberta that were once criss-crossed by railways. We've already lost like 90% of the rail network that once was and they are now more relevant than ever in a low-carbon future where hydrogen and electric and promising, but rails are still just that much more efficient that a rubber-tired truck could be...
It funny that Calgary got a stream locomotive in calgary but the province has no money to replace Second World War-era Hangar 11 as the historic building north of downtown was destroyed by a fire that houses Alberta Aviation Museum in Edmonton the Sea Hag Danielle Smith is not for the province all the money will be directed for calgray she does not know which city that is the capital city of Alberta is too how brainwash she is
Plenty more bigotry where the came from... Take Back Alberta is basically Alberta Taliban...
the locomotive was saved by a private organization. not sure how this relates to the government...
Amazing there is no mention of Calgarian Jim Lannigan, who was most instrumental in getting the engine to Calgary from Winnipeg in the 1980's.
Very true! Jim Lannigan was indeed a massive part of getting the loco to Calgary. He was present at the Historic Calgary Week showing of this film in 2023. The film focuses more on the action of moving the loco, as opposed to the people involved. But perhaps some day we'll revisit this story in far greater detail, as many parts of 7019's history was glossed over in this short for time's sake.
Great documentary, thanks for producing this!. It's cool to think that CP 8410 at 2:43 is still running today in revenue freight service, a unit that spent it's first decade of service alongside steam locomotives.
The Kettle Valley Ry was the most costly mile-over-mile railroad in N. America. It got worse. It had to close off its highest pass in the winters because it literally snowed them in. The maintenance of way workers were overwhelmed starting in late November and by mid-December most years the railway simply closed that route until the late spring. Also, the Kettle Valley Ry was stood up solely to keep the American Great Northern Railway under tycoon J. J. Hill from making an incursion into territory that the CPR's charter said was its territory, from the CPR mains all the way to the Canadian/US border. No other railway could be built in that region if the Canadian government was to keep their side of the charter. Except the Americans didn't care and began to build their lines anyway. If you ever get to Hope, British Columbia, do take the Othello exit on the Coquihalla highway and spend an hour, at least, a the Othello or Quintet Tunnel complex. It was part of the Kettle Valley and has to be seen to be believed. Five tunnels, each with a bridge linking them. Imagine that, over a roaring river that winds back and forth below.
The KVR is certainly one of the CPRs unique and fascinating stories, no question! Some day I'd like to tour the whole former line area and learn all about the route. I even learned some new things from your comment, so thanks!
For some reason, the music made me cry
That music? Ugh
I worked on this train, for a season, 20 some years ago. I was very blessed to be able to experience all of the magic. The level of service, from the 5 course meals, the attentive, informed and engaging service staff, to the incredible scenery. The history and beautiful craftsmanship of the cars was more than enough to take you to a different time. After turndown service and our 24 guests were tucked away for the night, I spent quite a few nights on the vestibule with a brandy or a fine glass of wine, reveling in the stars and the beauty. PS. I also worked my a$$ off! 16 hour days!! Example: Carrying trays of champagne flutes on a moving train! Quite a skill I might add!
What do we do if we don't have any system to play Blu-Ray, will it be sold on any online platform at any point?
For now it is just available on Blu-ray. Though hopefully by the end of this year, if not next year, it will also be available on standard DVD as well. There are no current plans to release Railway Towns of Time digitally at the moment, but if that changes in the future it will be announced on the channel.
Gotcha, I'll continue to keep my hopes up for that then cause' I don't have any old systems like that that can play DVD either except a broken Windows XP laptop lol.@@ghost_pine_film_productions
It was enjoyable to operate the SD60s, especially when as a double set or triple set. Very responsive acceleration and braking.
Love it.
Their should be a Cowl version of the GE Evolution Series locomotives. Why? So that both the Legacy of the CN & CP cowl units can Live on (Hopefully some Dash 8-40CM’s are Preserved), and so that the Eventual Alaska Canada corridor could have locomotives designed specifically for the Frigid environments up there. Seriously, EMD & GE *NEED* to make more Cowl Units. Like, they should take their Current iterations of SD (Special Duty) series & Evolution Series and make Cowl Body versions of them. IT’s NOT THAT HARD.
Even when new, these 2400´ give illusion of sagging downward frame.
Aberdean Carolina Western in NC bought 25 or 30 of the CN cowls 5520-5559 orange with black white stripes they also got 6922 alastrom grey one of only two left in service
I’m glad that I got to see a CN cowl
I just caught 3 (most likely heading to scrap) in Schoolcraft Michigan about a week ago, and one was a BC Rail! One of them was the exact one in the opening scenes, #2403. How cool!
Very well done
All very posh and historical, but true history has public access. This is a private business, and obviously open only for profit to the company. SHAME, SHAME. And, who authorized the prefix 'Royal', as royal assent should be acknowledged. Rodney Vancouver Island
Cowl units (especially the dash 8) are my favorite diesel, besides the SD40-2
Me too
My husband and i had the pleasure and experience of going from Palliser in Calgary to Fairmont. B.C. on her in early 2000s with the company he worked for at the time. This will always one of my core memories. Its what I think the Titanic would have looked like if it was a train. 🤩
