Aikenknees Railway #23 - Englewood Railway on Vancouver Island 2016/10/20

[@degrootl]

I watched this line as well a,d videoed it also. Such nostalgia it has now become. I assume that if the loss of those workmen had not died, then we might all be still enjoying this show.

[@AikenkneesRailway]

And it was quite the show. I have ridden it to Beaver Cove years ago.

Great video of when the railroad was in operation. Neat to see how they unload the trucks onto the rail cars, and then lift the trailers onto the truck cabs. Thanks for sharing.

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Glad you enjoyed it

@@AikenkneesRailwayI do wish this turned into a tourist train rail line

[@traildad604]

Pretty sure there are three englewood engines sitting at the SRY Rail Maintenance Yard just south west of the Queensborough bridge in New Westminister/ Burnaby

RIP to our Island logging railway, WFP did not do right by it, and it was their neglect that led to the terrible tragedy that gave WFP the perfect excuse to abandon rail operations.

Thanks you all. I’am half Canadian. My mom is Canadian, my Dad was america, he was stationed there during the war.

[@AikenkneesRailway]

I remember waiting for all the cars to go by the track when I was little I loved waving at the driver and brakeman . But was scared of the horn!

[@SuperRede4u]

Listen to the comment at 4:36, unfortunately very profound statement from the engineer about were a derailment would occur.

[@alkenny7074]

DIL and son's house was right at Ground Zero for the Accident. She helped a bit there and son was at Beaver Cove running the other crew speeder. And I was waiting in the yard until the crummy came in from BC because nobody was allowed near the site after they got enough hands there and they hadn't told me if it was my kid or not by the time I got back to the yard.

[@danielkennedy1524]

a well oiled team! very cool!

[@AikenkneesRailway]

The last Canadian logging railway. The Englewood Rly has announced it will be shutting down operations www.cheknews.ca/company-shuts-train-line-transported-logs-northern-vancouver-island-385010/ Sorry to see it close - ;-(

[@stevecarlisle3323]

All gone now 😣

[@rockfishmiller]

They are tearing up the tracks now.

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Sad.

[@caad3333]

That's pretty cool how they do that... Jose Silva G Scale

Nice video...

[@vicguy12]

Nice video! It is Western Forest Products though, not Canfor.

[@SuperRede4u]

Chris City It was previously Canfor for a good long time until Western Forest Products took the reins.

[@vicguy12]

I know, but when he took the video it is western Forest Products owned. Even has WFP logo on the cab

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Chris City, my apologies, yes I know the lettering is on the locomotive. My only excuse is after listening to all the employees talking CanFor this and Canfor that for 6 hours, I slipped up in the description.

[@vicguy12]

no need to apologize, I was just pointing it out just for accuracy. It still is unofficially Canfor, that name still lives on on a lot of the MOW equipment and on buildings and structures. Even the back-up locomotive is still in full Canfor livery with logo intact. It really is a special railway and I was terribly saddened with the news this week, I was there last weekend and couldn't believe what had happened to that small community.

[@mikeday62]

I assume these will be used to make toothpicks and kitty litter.

[@bigpapa8152]

No, bowling pins.

[@chrishinnant3924]

That's a very awkward horn.

[@Juan_A_Garcia]

Excelente video, me suscribo a tu canal!! Saludos.

[@AikenkneesRailway]

Thanks

[@AikenkneesRailway]

[@devernepersonal3636]
