Everything about bc seemed so much more green and vibrant. It's dull and dim in 2021. Love this look back to the glory days of BC as a whole, BC Rail at its peak.
Rode the Budd many times way back in the day when it was still the PGE...before that I rode PGE before the line made it from North Vancouver to Squamish...Union Steamship out of Vancouver to the pier at Squamish where the passage was waiting...the open observation car was a treat.
Great video footage! Nice to see most of the passing/passed freights in their entirety, a nice refresher for what equipment was in use at the time. Nice to see the territory from 16:38 to 26:18 (top of Pavillion horseshoe to north of Hilltop) that area is rather inaccessible and I haven't seen many other videos of that stretch of track. Good to hear the banter between the crew and charter passengers too. A few locations: 8:40 looks to be Retaskit siding. The run by at 17:55 would be at Moran siding. The siding and wye at 30:35 is Kelly Lake. The siding at 34:35 would be Potter (by the track arrangement), and the meet with 4612 south is at the south end of Exeter. Passing the freight at 40:12 would be the north end of Onward siding with the dry slide bridge shortly north of it. 44:09 is at the south end of Williams Lake Yard (The South Yard) 46:33 is the bridge over the Quesnel River just before the yard there. And I assume 48:44 would be at the main yard in Prince George. I look forward to the continuation of the trip.

The RDCs before the Cariboo Prospector was shut down back in 2002. Taking a ride across the mountains of British Columbia with BC Rail.

Cool! BC-30 is now in Oregon, USA!
I used to ride the Cariboo from Squamish to Williams Lake. Great ride, beautiful scenery. Not too bad for comfort either.
I like the color scheme! Reminds me of the old South Australia Railways (later ANR) Bluebird Railcars!
Yes, very similar.
Sure wish these were still running!
Me to. The BC rail is a shadow of its former self..CN haven’t done any good .
BC 30 now runs on the newport and Narragansett bay in Portsmouth rhode island
@@NERRP2017 Yes but living in Utah probably no chance to see or rife it!
Thanks.
yeah, it’s definitely not in the best of condtion than when it was new on bc rail
and the horn seems to have aged a bit loo
Do you have any time stamps of the hot box detector going off?
