Canadian Railroads > The sun is setting on RMR's Sea to Sky train...Date: 07/26/15 13:26 The sun is setting on RMR's Sea to Sky train... Author: BCR4619 1 - The sun comes out for a brief 10 minutes just in time for Work Passenger RMRX 8013 South exits a small tunnel at Mile 55.5 Squamish Sub... only a few more months left before the 5 day a week North Vancouver to Whistler train is done for good.
2 - About an hour later a 61 car CN 570 crosses the 56.6 bridge over the Cheakamus River 3 - Showing the beautiful nature of the area.

5 - Just about to finish their shift for the day the crew digs the remote out of the train and sets the rest of the cars off in a different track. Enjoy!   Date: 07/26/15 13:50 Re: The sun is setting on RMR's Sea to Sky train... Author: Jimbo Where is the yard in the last photo?

Squamish, BC If you follow Government Road to the West Coast Railway Heritage Park you cross the tracks and its right there Date: 07/26/15 13:58 Re: The sun is setting on RMR's Sea to Sky train... Author: tomstp A couple of great shots in the mountains. Thanks.
Date: 07/26/15 14:46 Re: The sun is setting on RMR's Sea to Sky train... Author: Mberry That's a shame. I rode the train in 2006. Not sure where I took this shot, but on the northbound run.
Presumably it wasn't making enough money? Any clue why it wasn't popular enough for them to continue with it? Michael  Date: 07/26/15 14:52 Re: The sun is setting on RMR's Sea to Sky train... Author: pummer BCR4619 Wrote:

Date: 07/26/15 15:00 Re: The sun is setting on RMR's Sea to Sky train... Author: BCR4619 You took that photo right here, 0.15 Miles North of my RMR shot exiting the tunnel. Aka the 55.6 Mile Bridge
Every time I saw it it did not seem very full, my theory is they are going to be concentrating on the longer trips that make them more money and possibly using the equipment on their expanding Seattle service. Next year the Rain Forrest to gold rush route will start in North Van instead of Whistler. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/26/15 15:01 by BCR4619.

611 Date: 07/27/15 11:35 Re: The sun is setting on RMR's Sea to Sky train... Author: wabash2800 Very nice. Thanks for sharing. As a modeler, it would be a lot of work but fun to build an N scale layout with scenery from the floor to the ceiling and long trains snaking around the layout room.
