In a cave, under a glacier, yelling "it's all crap now." Yukon Yeti   Date: 09/24/16 04:25 Re: Does Anyone Remember the British Columbia Railway ? The Final Author: refarkas You went out of your way to cover the PGE and BCR in these series installments. Even though I was there for three days in 1974, I never realized the depth of ther roster and the multitude of their paint schemes. I was more interested in the Royal Hudson.
Thank you for sharing these. Bob P.S.What was the reason for BCR 1700 having that beautiful paint scheme? Date: 09/24/16 07:37 Re: Does Anyone Remember the British Columbia Railway ? The Final Author: SCKP187 Wow ! This is a most impressive showing. Even some B units--had no idea. Myself as well, I didn't realize BCR had so many models in the fleet over the years and they are very clean too.
First time I had ever noticed the units are labeled FR and FL on the lead sill. The 1700 has got to be the absolute best B39-8 one will ever see. Thanks for showing these.

Wide cab ALCO's too, wonder what the desktop controls looked like on those ?

think one could have started over on these shots down in Mexico. Out Date: 09/24/16 14:31 Re: Does Anyone Remember the British Columbia Railway ? The Final Author: rrpreservation Thanks for sharing these photos!! I miss BC rail.
Date: 09/24/16 14:33 Re: Does Anyone Remember the British Columbia Railway ? The Final Author: ns2557 I for one didn't know the BCR had 6 axle GE's. What a pleasent surprise. Thanks for the series of shots of one of my favorites. Ben
