Just excellent! Nice to see the matched set of SoCred pushers, with 757 and 762 looking to have been repainted recently. And to have all the non lead Locotrol SD40-2s from the first order on one train is quite the catch. Love the different sounds of the 251 and 645 working on the head end power. Great shots too. Thanks for posting a reminder of how great this railway used to be at the time. If you're ever going to offer a DVD of your BCR footage, I would gladly purchase a copy.

You know, I used to own 1/4,000,000th of a railway. My parts were the crossing gate at Porteau Cove, two wheel bearings on a speeder, the coupler knuckle on a woodchip hopper, a starter motor in a BUDD car and the soap dispenser in an office bathroom at the North Van yard. But I was a citizen of British Columbia and that railway belonged to me.

First seeing a speeder and then a caboose made me remember more interesting times for rail. When I was growing up in NS we still had full freight and passenger service to the Annapolis Valley. The Dominion Atlantic Railway. It is mostly multi use pathway now, which is also nice.

Myself, I think the rail colour scheme was some sort of ulterior attempt to align BC Rail with American Railroads for political and economic purposes, by stupid politicians who don't know what Canada or even British Columbia is, which is NOT politically, socially,or culturally American. To me it was a treasonous colour scheme.

Train Orders. Written authority to move over the next section of line. Cannot be given until line is known to be clear. It's the way trains were protected before signals came into use. Now unsignaled lines are run with orders given by radio called Track Warrants. BC Rail switched to Warrants later in 1990.

lightnindash 3804 The Canadian railroads do not make the horns. They are made by a supplier same as the US. They sound different than US models due to Canadian government regulations that require horns to sound a minor chord. This is so moose are not attracted to the sound. In the early days of air horns they had several bad derailments from hitting moose.
