Looks good. Definately an addition to my video collection.
I'm an engineer on the Squamish Sub and yes much has changed indeed, the RDC's are gone, the SD40-2's are gone, the Dash 8's are giving way to CN ES44DC's and SD70M-2's(I had one of each coming home from Lillooet today, a CN GEVO, a Dash 8 and a BCR Dash 9). The Pemberton Pushers are gone, and the school train is gone. One freight train a day each way between Squamish and Prince George and a switcher job that runs south of Squamish.
I visited the railway last summer and indeed not much BCR was left. SD's GP's GE's fom CN to WC. Maybe some railfan would be happy to see an old (put pimped) SD40 on a train in lead position but the bitter truth is it's a sad thing.
Will they kill the the Sqamish link to Vancouver for Olympic games? I wonder how they will add just a single lane to Hwy at Porteau?

kinda strange to see a DPU only a few cars back from the lead....they had some crazy tactics for those grades!

I'm definitely going to pick up a copy of this one. I don't think I can ever get enough of BC Rail.

Railfanning must suck up there now since CN purchased it. BC Rail knew how to run a railroad. I'm sure they had 10 freights a day back in 1993-2004.
