One continuous shot captures the rail action that unfolds in the snowy town of Quesnel on the Prince George Subdivision. A 'phantom blue' northbound waits to take its turn as a southbound makes its presence known and rounds the bend. Filmed b/w 2002-2004. Double Ditch Light Productions.

  • Very good!.....

  • thanks!

  • Yes I know that BC is canadian province.

    It is my dream to visit this part of Canada for a long long time.... but unfotunately im still here in Slovakia. Our trains are much shorter than this one on the video. Really nice one.

  • Sounds like it's time to get a 1 year visa and work in BC? :)

  • Can someone tell me, do the trains of this kind have some kind of communication system when they use their horn or is it just a random thing?

  • @roserugosa And you should be! Because now that BC RAIL is gone, I have no more use in railfanning after watching my favorite road go to hell.

  • nice viewing. still mad at the Campbell govt for selling our railway.

  • Feel like a kid at a siding, counting cars as time passes. Amazing energy efficiency in trains.

  • Feel like a kid waiting at a siding, and counting cars as time passes.

  • @rangy8888 about 30 km/Hr loaded, empty is about 30.3 km/Hr

  • Hi, does BC Rail only moves freight or it has passenger service too? What is the top speed of these trains? Thanks

  • That is a loong pull. Hear the engine step in 1-2-3 at the beginning.

  • 10:12 seconds i will never get back...

  • crazy how a train can stop on a hill and then start up it like nothing
