This is fantastic footage of BC Rail back in the day. Yesterday, I went up to Squamish and saw that the line was empty as always. It’s quite a shame that frequent train service won’t be back soon.
Thanks for sharing with us! This is a nice look back, helps me remember what equipment was around at the time. Good catch of the tank cars (especially the whale bellies), Grain hoppers, and the four wheels cars on the tail! I was out close to this date, I have photos of the same pusher set. Very cool to see, thanks for shooting lots of the train, great reference source!
Nothing awesome about this video seeing the same train several times with a fixed-position camera. Why must the same train have to be shown in its entirety several times?
great train video

Awesome video, thanks for sharing

i miss bc rail
Amazing!! I hope to see a BC Rail unit in the wild one day!
Almost impossible sadily. Most units have been scrapped and the remaining units cannot lead because of PTC 😭
@Apoptart They can lead in Canada as Canada doesn't have PTC, some rare occasions have happened with them leading
Did BC Rail ever use their C44-9WLs? I can never find footage of them working for BCOL.
theres one trailing 2nd in this video. 13:25

You know what "Train Chases" are.. Right?
