I rode the Caribou weekly for 8 years from Squamish to Williams Lake. Great ride, great crew, comfortable seating and spectacular scenery.

Even though BC Rail no longer operates passenger trains, we still have these guys to remind us of BC Rail before the indefinite passenger service suspension in 2002 and the lease to CN in 2004.

I really enjoy 32:10 and on. Copying an OCS clearance is still a headache when theres a bunch of protect-against and other movements working between two locations and it takes a couple repeats. The items are different on a CN clearance but still very much the same. This footage is a real gem to have.

I wish CN hadn't cancelled the vast majority of the passenger rail in BC when I was a kid. Loving the old red white blue of the BC Rail trains, good stuff.

I think the BC government cancelled the passenger service before they sold BC rail. Either way a great railway is gone

This WCRA 'System Tour' (Charter) was called the "BUTTERCUP EXPRESS". I made signs for the cab sides in Prince George and affixed them upon that mornings departure. Who recorded this adventure. I'd like to see the other 3 parts. WE had 7 female passengers and they were given exclusive right to ride in the cab for a whole day. This greatly upset some of the male passengers! One of the ladies was nick named Buttercup, hence the title!

What is the luxury train that we pass at 44.35? I do recall a train called the Whistler Northwind which I saw when I rode this route in 2001 - that had it's own brown liveried locomotive - I didn't think that that was running as far back as 1997?

In 1997, BC Rail introduced the Pacific Starlight dinner train, which ran in evenings between May and October between North Vancouver and Porteau Cove

Found a photo on Flickr of the same cars with the Royal Hudson pulling them - presumably the Washington Dinner train was purchased by BC Rail to run the Pacific Starlight.See: www.flickr.com/photos/stephen_rees/642256932/in/photolist-YKJBo-YKJtu

Why did they cancel the RDC passenger service? Was it because of low ridership or corrupt officials

BC rail was sold to CN. Before sale they ceased loss making passenger train. Liberal government sale profit over people.

@@veniciocaldas1514 it's not. It's 690 km from Alberta. As far as most of the world is concerned, there is only one Vancouver. It’s in British Columbia. But hold on to your maps - another Vancouver exists. Just 300 miles to the south, making up the second half of a metropolitan area with Portland, Oregon, is the oft-overlooked city ofVancouver, Washington. With a population of around 175,000, it is by no means a small city. Yet for over a century now it has been almost entirely overshadowed by it’s brother to the north.
