A very short BC Rail southbound (led by a phantom blue and silver 'tear-drop' Dash9) passes through beautiful British Columbia scenery wailing its loud signature K5H (K5L / K5) horn to ensure nothing empedes its path.

(these shots were taken soon after the takeover by CN and during the forest industry's constant struggle :( - hence the short consist and missing "Pemberton Pusher" Power)

(sorry for the rough shot at 'Porteau'. It's at least a 120 degree pan and I was tripping on the tripod legs while awstruck by that awesome horn! - if that doesn't sound like "get out of the way", I don't know what does!)

Filmed in 2004. Double Ditch Light Productions.

  • I am a non train person, but this video is GREAT!  A beautifully done and exciting train vid

  • Thank you very much! :)

  • In the last angle why is some dude on the back of the train?He looks like an employee but would he need to do that theres nothing inbetween lion's bay and N.V, its crazy?

  • Good eye! Ya that's actually the conductor. The train was so short that day that he just waited until it passed by so that he could restore north siding switch Brunswick to its normal position.

  • They've only got the 2 Dash 9's? No wonder the train is short, 28-30 cars is all 2 dash nines can pull up the hills to Birken and Mons.
