I think I read somewhere that there was a wooden bridge at this spot at one time. Brian E Date: 09/27/16 06:37 Re: MLW Monday-Southbound M630's at Glenfraser BC. Author: Helo-Mech Very cool, I don't see the re-built extended height woodchip gons in the dogwood scheme often. Nice catch, and great photo Richard!

The railway and BC Highways created that large curved fill. From Fountain to Glenfraser , the current Highway 99 parallels the tracks, previously the dirt road was closer to the edge of the Fraser Canyon.

Author: rschonfelder The road behind the train would have just been opened sometime between Canada Day 1980 and the date of this photo. I recall moving the barricades so we could bypass the longer old road in order to stay beside the line and make the chase to Paviliion. I seem to recall when we (with Bryan Sirman) were on it, there was only the base down.
