BC Rail - Full 'DB' All The Way Down To Lillooet

[TheJackiechan512]

Does anyone know if all BC rail locomotives have dynamic brakes



[NVanWendy]

Ooh, I'd like to build an N scale version of that Fraser RIver bridge... 8-)

[imnoobshit]

I love the bridge part! that was a job well done!

[cochranexyz]

Classic Western Canadian railroading. Absolutely fantastic!!

[cybergreghu]

I like the artistic raindrop at 2:24 :)

nice vid. since the CN take over, have any of the BC electrics been preserved?

[Nathanrailfan]

@trainmaster500 Yes, the 6001 is preserved at the Prince George Railway & Forestry Museum.

[flexspinner]

[TLew01]

great video!!!

[HeyRileyhere]

Cool, my dad lives in Lillooet and was a conductor on one of the trains. I got to ride on them to my home in 100 Mile House.

[TheKingofLasers]

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't this the general area were the movie "Atomic Train" was filmed?

5/5

[pelforthpelforth]

Marvellous....absolutely...tha­nks for sharing!

[21hills]

man that is some crazy cool, great job. I love trains we just don't have the volume of train traffic like you guys. Thats why I appreciate the vids. I live northern bc and when I come down I always make time to sit and watch them on my way to Victoria

[ATributeToBCRail]

Thanks. That's got to be quite the trip, but a good one at that!

@ATributeToBCRail Too bad that British Columbia Railway is not around anymore until Canadian National stuck their nose in its business I never liked Canadian National in the first place since they took over all freight operation that Illinois Central ran for years Illinois Central was my favorite railroad well not anymore since Canadian National took over all of Illinois Central's freight operation.

must be a quit town, pick ups blocking the road like it's normal.

Must be wonderful to live there without all the people being stressed all day long.

[ATributeToBCRail]

haha yes, a classic railway town... it used to have a lot of activity until the forest industry suffered setbacks

[milepost312]

nice vid!! this is diffently the scariest part of the lillooet sub full db the whole way down!

[ATributeToBCRail]

ya full db and some train brake too I'm sure!

a BCR hogger joked to me once saying that he gets 'gun shy' coming down the hill and will put it into DB early at around Kelly Lake. I don't blame him - southbounds carry loads

[milepost312]

I do the n.v 2 p.g every summer and it always scares the s@#$! out of me. it takes about an hour i think. And every time a car passes a lub patch it smokes for a quater-mile!I have BIG respect for the hoggers upfront!

[ATributeToBCRail]

oh WOW! do you work for CN? a locomotive engineer? haha maybe it's time to rename the video to something like "the terrifying way down"

[enr3870]

yep, they've got about 6 to 10 lbs of air off. DB alone will not hold a train on that hill. Same with the hills on the Squamish Sub.

[Zebrails]

Simply... Nice.

[ATributeToBCRail]

thanks!

[94011111]

These are really great videos that are being put together. The scenes are filmed with time and care, and you can tell that the video equipment being used is of high quality!!!

[ATributeToBCRail]

thank you thank you! glad you enjoy them :)

[pennsyr1]

Any train looks cooler with BC Rail Red/White/Blue/Silver on the point.

Nice video, as usual.

[ATributeToBCRail]

ya thanks!

[Ziltoid667]

Damn. Railways and BC scenery. It doesn't get any better.

[ATributeToBCRail]

Couldn't have said it any better myself!

[CP359]

That panorama of the train sweeping around that curve and across the viaduct is stunning! What a beautiful shot! Was it easy to get to your vantage point? Excellent video!

Dave

[ATributeToBCRail]

Hi Dave,

Thanks!

Yes that vantage point is along the highway north of Lillooet so fortunately it is very easy to get to, as are a lot of the locations featured in my videos.

[TTGVP]

What can I say... *5 stars*

[ATributeToBCRail]

thanks!
