Millennium Line SkyTrain: Columbia to Lougheed Town Centre

Riding the Millennium Line from Columbia station in New Westminster--transfer point to the Expo line to Surrey--to Lougheed Town Center station in Burnaby, transfer point to the 97 B-Line (a rather neglected BRT line) and several other important bus routes. Lougheed is also the future junction with the under-construction and long-promised Evergreen Line to Port Moody and Coquitlam.

Just out of Columbia, the approaches to the SkyBridge over the Fraser River rise from the Millennium Line junction, and a train of Mark II ART cars descends. Thereafter is a tunnel under Queen's Park, after which the line parallels the Fraser River, with beautiful views to the Coast Mountains. Sapperton station is next, serving north New Westminster, and the route passes next to the Canadian National tracks (a yard transfer freight can be seen to the right, with the BNSF New Westminster yards to the left). Braid is next, with its beautiful wood roof. It is another important bus transfer hub with routes to Coquitlam. The line crosses CN's Brunette Yard, before paralleling Hwy 1 and the middle layover track for early morning and late night runs terminating at Lougheed. At Lougheed Town Centre, partly-built stubs and sidings to accommodate the Evergreen Line can be seen as the train approaches the station.

Yes, my lens does have a spot on it, and those vague wavy lines I believe are defrosters built in to the front windshield.
