  • Another question, the clip at 0:26, is that entering the town of Gaspe? It sure looks like it with the mountains (Forillon National Park) in the background across the water (Gaspe Bay)

  • @tjmfishing That's Swan Lake along the Okanagan highway heading south between Armstrong and Vernon.

  • MLWs everywhere. I love it. That Bombardier HR616 was a real treat though. There weren't too many of those built, and they didn't last too long. I think they were around for maybe 10 years before CN side-lined them. I wonder if any were preserved somewhere?

  • @CRQ5508 That's not an HR616, it's an HR412. There are a few left about on some shortlines. The Lake State Ry. in Michigan got the one from KPR, but it is out of service now, as are all their Alco/MLW units.

  • @fmnut @fmnut I mean at 3:40 for example, that was a trio of HR616s. I know there are quite a few HR412s still around, but I was referring to the draper-taper HR616s. There are a few other clips with them in here as well.

  • @CRQ5508 Sorry, I forgot the CN HR616's were on this video. There were some located at a loco dealer in the midwest (NRE??) a few years ago, but I think they all were cut up after being stripped for parts.

  • Wow those 251 powered MLW-Bombardier locomotives sound so amazing,too bad all we have now is just more of the same,amazing footage,thanks for sharing

  • This is a great video, I guess they thought of everything, the slants line up no matter how the loco's are arranged.

  • Wow it soounds just like a GE Dash 8!!!

  • Lake State Railroad in Michigan got a few M420's from KPR I think a couple might still be in storage but all the current road power is now GP40-2's, GP40M-3's, a few GP38m's and an SD40. It's sad to see the wide cab M420's and the few C425's sitting in Saginaw.

  • that clip along the lake is Kalamalka LAKE THAT IS BETWEEN WINFIELD and VERNON, I know because I live there .

  • @fmnut Thanks, but man does that ever look like Gaspe. I have only ever seen two videos of CN on the Gaspe as they left in 1998.
