Canadian Railroads > CPKC Business Train 31B

On this past Monday I, like many local local railfans headed out to photograph the westbound CPKC Business Train opererating as symbol 31B.  The train surprisingly remained on CPKC rails west of Nepa, BC and ran against the current of traffic for the duration of the 157 mile directional running zone down the Thompson and Fraser Canyons.  Westbound trains on this section of CPKC track are exceptionally rare, so I headed out to try and catch the train at some some locations and photo angles that have been rendered useless since the DRZ agreement began 24 years ago.
