#106 2011-07-19 Station Namesign "Abbotsford"

This sequence was videoed from the 'platform' of the VIA Rail train station at Abbotsford. It is a true 'Stop-on-request', if you give 24 hours notice. Even then you could only catch a westbound train. The westbound CP Rack 'em and Stack 'em is headed onto the approach to the Mission bridge over the Fraser River. The CP coal train will continue on CN rails and head down to the Roberts Bank Superport. The last train in this video is a CN stack (container) train, also headed to Roberts Bank. Purists will like this part as I have left it to run through the entire train. Feel free to count the cars...

@SuperTrainkid Strictly for education, 'most' do continue on to Roberts Bank where Westshore Terminal exports coals mined in BC and Alberta (and recently, minor amounts from Wyoming via BNSF). Westshore is the largest export coal terminal in North America, handling up to 30 million tonnes of coal per year. Neptune Terminals North Vancouver, the destination for coal trains crossing the Mission Bridge, ships about 6 Million tonnes of coal annually.

Just lucky, thanks. When you are out and about enough, something is bound to happen.

[SuperTrainkid]

not all the coal trains go that way most go across mission bridge onto cp rails CP or CN
