Three "Kodak Instamatic Moments" from June or July 1973. I was a brakeman on a work train and we were heading north, took some shots of the tunnel at mile 598.5 on the BC Rail Chetwynd subdivision.  I was told that in the past the portals had a curtain closing them off, and a watchman would check for ice in the tunnel, then open the curtain for approaching trains.

Heck of a lot more interesting than any Instamatic photos I've taken. Geology is a big part of the hobby, there's a lot of it to see here. Curious if they've added rock slide protection.

Fascinating views that could best be taken only from the cab.
