Is it just my impression, or the bends are actually very sharp? It's also caught my attention the fact that rails sections are quite short. Anyway, it seems the Budds adjust perfectly well to do their job! BTW: do people use these RR services regularly? Greetings
I don't think this is likely to happen in the Victoria area. There has been some suggestion of running the Alberni Pacific steam train between Port Alberni and Parksville but that's all it is, talk.
I heard some time ago that the E&N are going to use steam engine to pull the train, to attract more people to ride the train. What do you know about this?

Yeah they've got some sharp curves on the E&N. Too sharp for 6-axle power. Tightest curve I believe is 14 degrees on the Port Alberni Sub.

The Railways name is E&N not EN

EN was, until RailAmerica took over, the official reporting marks for the E&N.

The E&N Railfreight engines were EN 3004 and EN 3005 not ENR and not CP.
