We had a short train that day and stopped for some photos. Deep Creek bridge is approximately 1200 feet long 322 feet high, built by Canadian Bridge Co of Walkerville, Ontario in 1920.  Deep Creek bridge actually spans Hawks Creek.

What an opportunity, well-used! I particularly like the ones from the walkway.

Nice walkway on that bridge.  Did you have all 3 units running?

Lead unit was in idle, nice and quiet in the cab.  Later on all three units would be "on-line" leaving Quesnel with full tonnage.
