RMR: Rick and the Last Spike

[sicilian12345]

What subdivision is that?? I bet they asked CN to do this but knowing them they'd decline lol

[CPRaildude234]

rick likes horns!!!!!

[MenwithHill]

Train are awesome.

[steriogram007]

Why did the parks canada woman authorize him to drive the train?? maybe CP rail should've done that

[CPWindsorsub]

This is awesome. I think being a train engineer is one of the best career choices. That's what I want to be when I grow up.

[tomcrissy]

From Washington state as a truck driver,Ive been into B.C. and Alberta.I really like Canada.Canadians are what the USA should act like.

The USA needs to quit trying to control the world.

The Mercer Report has taught me alot about Canada.

Rick,keep showing us Americans a good life.

[DannyandPatty]

Beautiful British Columbia <3

[MaumeeandWesternRR]

Look i'm a CP Rail hood ornament.

[tomcrissy]

Ive been over hwy 1 thru this area.But I take hwy 3 thru the crowsnest if Iam going to Calgary or Edmonton.Much safer.

[lexpo181]

Great video! totally cool to see!

[f1fan001]

Staggering beauty all the year around. Why do we leave the country for holidays anyway?

[893160007]

I wonder if the camara man gets to drive stuff

[Hiei2k7]

poor Rick. 3/4 of the first swing hit the rail and the rail hit back. lol!

[tomcrissy]

Looks like they were west of Hope maybe??

[magicsuperman13]

@tomcrissy Nope, I've been there. Its quite a bit east. Close to the alberta border

[skrailfan]

@tomcrissy The first part (spike driving) is at Cragellachie, which is between Salmon Arm and Revelstoke, then they head east. The tunnel is at Rogers Pass (between Revelstoke and Golden) and the Stoney Creek bridge is just east of the pass.

[DannyandPatty]

@tomcrissy I live in Vancouver, and I've been to the Last Spike. The monument is at Cragellachie, which is between Revelstoke and Salmon Arm.

[canadarox14]

@DannyandPatty I live in Alberta and I've been there too, (lots of times, actually.) It's funny how small the place is. If you're not looking, you'll drive right past it on the highway. But it's a really neat place to see.

[20redhead07]

i feel proud i get to see that scenery every time i go to work :) gotta love cp!

[beaster29]

@20redhead07 and im stuck being on tracks surrounded by wheat fields :(

[donanobispacem1003]

Canada is beautiful

[GreatGirlAdvise]

[anlashok42]

Beautiful AND terrifying, my favorite combination. LOL

[OntarioRails1]

Wow an ES44AC with desktop controls.

[usafisasome]

@OntarioRails1 Well thats better than the ACes controls

[desireeT01]

Would it be safe to say, in this episode, Rick had a ONE TRACK mind???? LOL

[00Billy]

Always want to do the train trip



[exes1010]

Epic.

[lregis68]

How nice !

[papoocanada]

do take a coast to coast trip, I did it three times. its just fantastic. Halifax - Montréal - Toronto - Vancouver. Always in Ist Class with a roomette of course. Great trips. once on the original CPR and twice on VIA RAIL.

[derooger]

@rootbeerlover445 It's CP not CN! I work for CP so I take offense.

[swcnut]

coolest job

[seehanth001]

That was pretty awesome.

[UnhappyTestTubeBaby]

This is a good episode.

[Crystal0jewls]

train looks a little short, wasn't that engineer a pro hockey player?

[deanpoopoo]

rick always puts a smile on my face. he is a great person!

[83056]

I enjoyed this segment 

[t1mTV]

i'd love to be a freight train conductor.

[flamingosnflipflops]

Ahh, Canada was so meant to be traveled by train. Can't wait to take a coast to coast trip someday :D

[lyticityl]

what a beauty way to go!

[roudys]

Check out the Teamster jacket on the hogger! Stay Proud, Stay Safe, Stay Strong!

[Bobofet241]

That was wonderful I'm so glad I live here.

[djkrisis01]

I work on that section of track

[raddave9]

This is the throttle, as we go back it goes towards.... Look how pretty that is... LOL

[Unstbecsta]

you lucky lucky sonofagun!

[booobbobo]

Rick has the best job in Canada!

[TTCsubway1204]

@booobbobo !@#$%^&*()_+{}""|

[Sandymaxy]

Rick is so lucky to be able to travel around beautiful Canada and experience things that most people don't. He got to drive a train and stand on top of a railway bridge! I wish I had his job.

[BruceCountyFinest]

@Sandymaxy Wish?? its canada go experience it. Proud to say i have and its well worth every last breath!!!

[Sandymaxy]

@BruceCountyFinest I would love to do that, but I'm a student so I'm kind of stuck here in Vancouver. Though, I plan to experience the world and that includes Canada. Just watching Rick travel around Canada makes me so jealous. XD If it's worth every last breath, I can't wait to see this beautiful country. :)

[roxlikepeter]

I want Rick's job

[bobbyjumper]

I wish. It would honestly be the best job ever!

[cptlee2]

Man do we live in a beautiful country.

[raceimaztion]

He's gotta be slightly crazy... ;)

[g4tech]

@raceimaztion Hes gotta be?

He is slighty crazy :D

[canadafreakazoid]

Sheldon Cooper would be proud.

[roxlikepeter]

@canadafreakazoid lol awesome

[jaystreete]

This is one of the coolest segments I've seen on Rick Mercer! I'd love to travel the country by train!

[gmcnewlook]

@jaystreete ive seen parts of it by train (BC and alberta) on the canadian, its breathtaking to sit up in the dome car and see the view

[Anghellik9]

Never thought i'd fall in love with a spike driver
