    The shot at 32.15 to 33 is almost the same location as the opening scene of the movie "Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg. This location is now totally different. A the rail termina, (Ashcroft Terminals), l that is on the CP side expanded and leveled the whole area where the road is. This location is now called Barnes Creek on the CN Ashcroft sub.

    As a note of interest, at 2:35 the free-standing conical steel structure that appears on the left is called a Beehive Burner used to burn waste wood from a sawmill. Usually ranging from 30 to 60 feet in height. They have an opening at the top that is covered with a steel grill or mesh to keep sparks and glowing embers from escaping. They produce a large quantity of smoke and ash, which is vented directly into the atmosphere without filtering so they are no longer used very much.

    Incredible footage, what an outstanding cinematography job you did. It was a real pleasure watching the vid. I came across Canada in 67' (end of winter) from Halifax to Vancouver, 5 days and 4 nights. A mesmerizing trip during the 'centennial' year. That trip is still imbedded in my mind, crossing the frozen St Lawrence river and across the vastness of the prairies, to name a few. Keep up the good work, kudos to you. All the best. Cheers

      This train would only have 2 or 3 locomotives, lead, middle and tailend DPU. Usually from 8000 to 13500 ft long. This location is at Ashcroft, MP 49.4 to 51.2 (tunnel), Ashcroft Sub. This location has changed as the siding was lengthened from the highway bridge to just before the tunnel.

    In the first segment (through 8:10) has to be the longest single-engine train I've ever seen on UA-cam. Sight was so distant, I couldn't tell if there were any DPU's. If true, it must have been downhill all the way. Seems likely since the left bank train (starting at 8:15 was headed with 3 engines. Splendid setting/scenery. I

  • @viscount757
    @viscount757 2 роки тому

    Some of that footage looks much older than 2018 based on locomotive types and liveries. For example the train from 13:37 to 15:40 with most cars (and one locomotive) still bearing the old CP Rail "multimark" livery which was rare by 2018. And CP stopped using cabooses on freight trains long before 2018.

      No, it could very well be! In Canada, we use vintage locomotives on vintage 1910 railway technology! While most countries use LEVEL concrete ties or sleepers as the British call them, we still use rickety wooden ones with spikes holding the rails!

    I work where the longest train ever was (mining company in Australia) I’ve even been stuck at crossings on site when they are heading off delivering ore to the port. But I’m guessing that record one was back during the mining boom because the longest ones I see at work are probably only half of the first one in this video. Our trains carrying ore have 4 engines, yet first train only had 2, were those containers empty or something?

    • @DwayneKlassenTheCoachForMen
      @DwayneKlassenTheCoachForMen 3 роки тому

      There could be bout 50% empty for containers for the ports, but goods travel east and west in Canada so it is hard to say. However, It's a down grade of about 1.3% all the way through the canyons to Vancouver so two units could do the job easily.

    • @BC_Geoff
      @BC_Geoff 3 роки тому +1

      The first train is traveling on a downhill grade for the next 100 + miles. Until it reaches its destination. So they only need 2 engines.

    • @vicsams4431
      @vicsams4431 2 роки тому

      Another factor, is the locomotive power. Some of the CP trains were hauled by 2,000 hp GP38-2a. Others had more modern locos, such as the AC4400, which have 4,400hp.

  • @sharkheadism

    36:45 That VIA train has around 22 passenger cars plus a baggage car... that seems really long, is that normal for that train?

    • @vicsams4431
      @vicsams4431 2 роки тому

      Yes. That is Train 1, the westbound Canadian, from Toronto to Vancouver (Train 2 is the eastbound Canadian in the opposite direction from Vancouver to Toronto). I have known it reach Load 25, and be tripled headed, albeit the leading loco and 4 coaches were removed as Jasper, to swap with the Skeena (Jasper to Prince Rupert train). The fifth coach is a single level glass coach. VIA has three of these. The sleepers are a mix of Manor and Chateau cars. The coaches with 'humps' on the roof, are Skyline Domes, and the rear coach, which also has a dome, is the Park Car with a bullet lounge for a rear facing view. Sleeping car passengers get 6 meals a day (breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper). The locos are the F40PH-2 (-3 as rebuilt), and are a 3,000 hp GM design with four axles. I have ridden every passenger train in Canada, except the line to Churchill. That includes heritage lines, Skytrain, West Coast Express, GO Transit, EXO/AMT Montreal, VIA, Rocky Mountaineer (including Calgary), Ontario Northland (including Toronto to Cochrane), the White Pass & Yukon to Carcross, YT, and AMTRAK. But a personal favourite is the Tshiuetin Railway from Sept Iles to Schefferville. Even rode on the locomotive on occasions. Not bad for a Brit !
