Canadian Railroads > CN Operations in Northern BC?

Does anyone out there have current info on when CN operates between Fort St. John and Fort Nelson? Last I heard (two years ago), it was north on Saturday, switch Fort Nelson Sunday, make up the southbound train Monday, head south Tuesday. But I'd like some more recent information: it's a long way to go for nothing. Here's a photo of CN 6000 leaving Fort St. John with a northbound ballast train in 2010.

Thanks in advance,
Loleta Fernbridge

We went through Fort Nelson on the Saturday before Victoria Day, on the way to Alaska.  The yard looked like a ghost town other than a 50' flat tied down on the switch going into the yard (see pic).  And there was a red flag for southbound movement on the far side of it as shown in the pic.  We came through Ft Nelson from Alaska on June 2nd and found a single unit there, but  didn't take time to photograph it.

A mosquito report would be helpful as well.

There appears to be one or two TO subscribers that travel though the area to Alaska or work way up there, there's a few reports from the past in the archives. Always interested in the stories but haven't been and don't expect to be there for a few more years. Hope there's something left to run by then.

The mosquitos were okay until we got to Fairbanks...
