Overview

In June of 1987 I traveled across Canada on VIA Train #1, "The Canadian" for 7 days of raillanning on The CP, CN, and BCR in Southwest British Columbia. This has always been one of my most memorable railanning trips, and as time passes, the video that I shot has become more and more priceless. Every train had a caboose. CP & CN stuck to their own sides of The Fraser & Thompson River Canyons (the direction of the train now dictates the side they use).The British Columbia Railway was healthy, and still running lots of big ALCO/MLW Locomotives! The Royal Hudson Steam excursion was in full service. No doubt one thing remains constant, whether it be 1987 or present… the scenery is SPECTACULAR.
