sometimes I wish the wide accessability of modern cameras came much sooner. it feels like all the cool stuff is slowly going away. though, maybe that's just perspective, and someday in the future people will think that about what we have now.| the grass is always greener right? still very gratefull videos like these exist at all! it almost doesn't feel real. hard to imagine seeing this stuff up close.
Very observant. The tour had two sections. On the first day, the tour left Vancouver with the sections combined for the trip to Kamloops. The train was split at Kamloops with half going to Banff and the other half going to Jasper. We were in the section that went to Banff. After touring Banff we were bussed to Jasper where we would board the other section for the westward return trip. The sections were joined once again at Kamloops. Thus there were two engines at the point west of Kamloops and one engine on the legs east of Kamloops.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Indeed I have thought many times it would be nice to be able to relive those days with a modern day camera.
How come the train started from Jasper with only 4 cars and one engine and then it becomes a longer train with two engines?
