Canadian Railroads > Citirail in Revelstoke

I was down at the yard crossing on the 20th August and saw this Intermodal train heading west out of the yard. I was surprised to see this Citirail unit trailing. I look at TO pretty much as my sole source of what is going on in the North American scene and yet haven't seen anyone posting a photo of these units up here. I don't know if this is unusual but I thought it was unique.

The third photo is meant to provide Railfans of something to be aware of. This is Bear scat and shows that wheat has been eaten from track spillage. A late night walk through Revelstoke after dark resulted in an encounter (more of an observation) of a Black Bear from close proximity. He/she walked out from the shadows of some of the homes and what struck me was how quiet the animal was.

You didn't step in that scat, did you? ;-)

Third photo - bear scat . . . . ?? Looks a little more solid than something belonging to C Pee . . . .

Photo #3 IOTD Looks like a Yermo Railroad Inn, aka The Beanery, Dinner special doesn't it Trainjunkie? Better quality though.

Hahaha! We have a version of that joke up here in Alaska too.

Thanks for posting, I live right by the mainline in Chase, BC and haven't seen one yet.

Not something you want to run into on a hike.

No that was the "Cheese Blend" what ever that was. Too bad you weren't there when they got the waffle machine and put little ads on the door knobs and on the little desks in the rooms.

Those rooms were more like prison cells. I was so stoked when I drove through there in 2007 and saw they had bulldozed the place. Good riddance.
