We're planning on trying to catch the big boy steam engine in motion. Somewhere between Roseville and Truckee. Any suggestions?

@ac6044cw 6 ай бұрын

I'm not local to the area, so I basically only know the places that I covered in the video. Keep in mind that there will be a lot of people out watching Big Boy (and chasing it by road), so wherever you decide to go - get there early, otherwise you might not be able to park or get a decent view.

Yes, we had lovely weather when we were there. Had to wait hours for a train climbing the hill though - just unlucky timing, several went downhill on the the other track, which you can't see from the horseshoe curve area... Worth the wait though!

It was originally shot on a Sony HC3 HDV (digital tape based) camcorder, which wasn't even 'Full HD' (it was 1440 x 1080, interlaced). It was converted to 1920 x 1080 progressive - Full HD - when I edited it, and yes, it looks pretty decent for the time.

Interesting as of this summer they have gone to 200 car trains and have 2 DPU’s mid-train. I live about 300 yards from the main line in Sicamous where they cross the Eagle River. Good video. Definitely in notch 8 on this pull.

@ac6044cw 4 жыл бұрын

"Definitely in notch 8 on this pull." I agree - this was a warm, dry day, and the locos were still going into wheelslip/wheelcreep at times (the screeching noises and changes in diesel engine note are the giveaways for anyone watching this). So at 200 loaded cars that's about 27,000 tonnes (and 22,000 hp) in total? Have CP increased the length of the coal trains as well recently?

I've dreamed of filming trains at Morants Curve for 30 years but never made it. Now that I'm retiring in 6 months I hope to make the trip from Ohio and spend 2 weeks filming trains in those same spots. Thanks for rekindling my dream. Great job!

@ac6044cw 4 жыл бұрын

It's definitely worth the trip - just keep your plans flexible and your fingers crossed for decent weather. Two days before I shot the Morant's Curve video there was torrential rain, causing a rock slide that closed the line over Kicking Horse Pass for a day or so. 5 years later on another trip I couldn't get to Morant's Curve because bad weather had damaged a bridge so the road to it was closed. The scenery is still fabulous though even in the rain :-)

My pleasure - it's a beautiful part of the world. Would be even better if there were more trains on that line, but after CN took over I think it was inevitable that more 'through' traffic between north BC and Vancouver would go via Kamloops.
