Canadian Railroads > A Gourd-geous Day On The Squamish Sub

The weather this past Sunday started out looking gorgeous, however as it is in British Columbia, it can change in an instant. With a few Gourds leftover from Halloween, the idea was to find a few spots along CN's Squamish Sub and give them one last use. 

1). At Culliton Creek, north of Squamish, the Gourds give a rollby of CN 8921, which is in charge of southbound 570.  

2). CN 5445, 2570 & 2425 hustle northbound 571, passed Mile 52 in the Cheakamus area. Due to a precarious hike up, Gourd and his buddies had to wait in the vehicle.

3). At Rainbow Creek Park in Whistler, the Gourds noticed a cabin right by the tracks and checked in for a nights stay. Before parting ways, we observe them watching 571, as it continues north. 

4). Back in Squamish, our day ends with a short night shoot, as CN 8921 and 2644 await there next assignment on 546, to North Vancouver. The Squamish Chiefs hails as a backdrop. 

Thanks for looking.

Nice shots. How did the cabin work out you couldn't get much closer to the tracks? The night shot is perfect and is not over lit or blasted by a flash.

I didnt actually stay at the cabin, as I think they're reserved for a Summer kids camp.
