Canadian Railroads > photos and exercise

There's always that dilemma when photographing something unique: go for saturation coverage, or hike in for a couple of shots that preclude most or all of the others? I did a bit of both for these final trains on BC Rail, these photos being the latter type:
1. Train 570 on April 5 exits the short tunnel at mile 125.6 north of D'Arcy.
2. This idyllic getaway at Scott is only accessible on foot or by boat. The owners are likely grateful that there will no longer be trains rumbling past just an arm's reach away.

3. The penultimate northbound, train 571, north of D'Arcy.
4. The penultimate southbound, crossing the Cheakamus River south of Garibaldi.

Very nicely composed, atmospheric shots.

Just plain scenic and great images.Thanks for posting.Maybe they will reopen and we will get second bite of the apple.Think Modoc NWP and SDAE.All gone but with encores.Bill Webb

Give it up guys. BC Rail as I / we knew it is long gone. Two tone green is gone, the big MLW's are gone and so is PGE / BCR/ BC Rail.

Great locations, worth the effort.

What a great effort you have made to document this unfortunate decision. Great bunch of shots!

Nice work as usual LF.

Might have to move to Mission and bring the camera and scanner. LOL!

Beautiful pics Loleta. What does the sign with two dots mean?

The sign is a "flanger board" indicates an obstruction ahead and to lift the blades on the flanger.
