Canada's Thompson Canyon [CP and CN in Summer and Winter]

[@MojaveNarrows]

Simply beautiful.

[@AtlasShrugged123]

So beautiful in the Canadian Rockies. Definitely on my bucket list to get up there and do LOTS of Railfanning.

Not the rockies, they're 250 miles east of here ,these are the coast mountains or cascades as Americans call them

merely Cascadia

Thank you 7idea so much for these videos you make. My 2 year old son has taken a liking to your content and loves him some trains. We watch your videos daily. Thank you so much

[@sonnicman]

Stunningly beautiful area. Taking a trip on the Rocky Mountaineer is a bucket list item of mine.

[@christopherhood9241]

Brings back memories of the VIA train i took from Vancouver -> Toronto at the end of last summer. Landscape is truly awesome.

[@NomaDairy]

I live a few hours from this and it’s such a treat all year round to see the trains!

[@miner49er79]

Thanks team 7idea for posting this !!!!!

I just did this trip last month (thanks in great part to this video). I didn't realize that most of the Fraser River was heavily forested and I'd recommend shooting straight to the Cisco Bridges if you are coming up from the south (Hope/Vancouver). After the Cisco Bridges you have glorious views from Lytton all the way to Kamloops (this video). I spent many hours between Lytton and Ashcroft. The CN and CP have basically created a 2 lane super highway. The Columbia Gorge is similar, however, here in the Thompson area you are closer to each side of the river due to the narrower width of the river and can get great shots no matter which side the trains are on.

Loved seeing how the reflective stripes on the UP locomotive at Lytton glowed in the sun. The area looks really beautiful. Makes me want to go there. I am hoping within the next few years to go to Banff, and possibly through the Fraser and Thompson River canyons.

[@thompsonriverrailfan]

Absolutely phenomenal footage! I really enjoyed the clips taken in Kamloops. As a lifelong Kamloops resident, it was very cool to see some good footage in some of my favorite spots!

[@carlfalt174]

How they built the railroad through that canyon is unbelievable

[@asullivan4047]

Where there's a will/there's a way 😉.. Tunnel engineering at it's best .

[@rays2877]

That was one of the easier parts compared to the Fraser Canyon just west .

[@carlfalt174]

@@rays2877 totally agree. Especially when you take the gondola from the Trans-Canada highway down to the platform at Hells Gate on the raging Fraser can totally see that

[@RailtimeMedia]

Well done. I enjoyed both programs and discovered some locations that I have not visited yet !!

[@gcorriveau6864]

Thanks for sharing this. The cinematography is impressive, to say the least and your informative narration is fascinating. I've been fascinated by trains for a long time so I'm really happy to discover your productions.

[@TigerDominic-uh1dv]

That's Neat Seeing 2 Trains, One in Each Direction 😊

[@trainrover]

the cozy, more tortuous canyon running east of this stretch and higher up for seemingly hours on end: that'd been the eye-popping one of this pair's worth for me ... wending past the car end diaphragms was trickily discombobulating what with virtually every thing pivoting altogether 👀

[@TigerDominic-uh1dv]

Stunning and Tranquility, The Seinery is Breathtaking 😊 ❤ It 😊

[@158854]

I love all these videos that you produce, great trains, wonderful scenery and the presentation it just top draw, i get excited to see a notification to say that 7idea productions have released a new video...

[@weylandyutani7973]

My wife and I (and our little dog) get to live here!

[@whiskeymike5154]

Great! Beautiful!

[@KenMcIntosh-p8c]

Once again excellent viewing nice to see Lytton BC sadly the town is no longer on the map the town burnt down about 3.5 years ago the bridge over the Thompson was damaged and now has been repaired the fire was caused bye sparks bye a CP train .

[@Aaronnanneman-c1q]

Dude that one train I saw it was the Canadian Pacific ac6000cw locomotive awesome man sweet and wicked cool

[@asullivan4047]

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. While the freight train 🚂 travels through different terrains & seasons. Jimmy Rogers the " Singing Break Men " was a genuine break men. Till switching careers to singing entertainer 🎸🎶 1926 - 1933. His classic recording the " Break Man's Blues ". Enjoying this presentation from the comfort zone of my computer room. Along the " Space Coast " 🚀 of Florida 🐊🐊. Wishing viewers/R.R. employees a safe/healthy/prosperous ( 2024 ) 🌈🎉😉.

Awesome Documentary! Great trains, beautiful views, outstanding landscapes. Thanks for showing this piece! Regards from Germany

[@johnmcgarvie4061]

Both this video and the Fraser Canyon video were way too cool! I live in the Fraser Valley so I know both areas very well. I was disappointed that you didn't include any footage of the connecting track in Black Canyon. Would have been great to see a train using it.

[@7ideaproductions]

Thank you! I agree there are a few more angles I wish I could have included when I was there.

[@shifterraven3169]

cool thing my uncle and my antys and dad were born in Ashcroft there and my uncle still lives there. im like 6 hours from there.

[@halbarker6747]

I love watching trains. I drove a coal truck over soldier summit for 10 years. I hauled wallboard over Donner pass. But I don't know that much about trains. I watched them working hard to haul coal over soldier summit. For a trucker and not a railroad conductor, I would love to know what "dynamic" power and braking is. Do you have a video that explains some of the terms used in your videos.

[@aquaspire7671]

Effectively, the engine spins a alternator, which sends electricity to a "traction motor" which by using the electricity and magnets moves the wheels. When dynamic braking is activated it reverses the magnetic field and instead draws power from these motors. This power is the burnt off as heat. You can tell its activated by a loud howling noise, almost like jet engine.

[@halbarker6747]

@@aquaspire7671 Thank you so much. I thought it must be something like that, but I wasn't sure.

[@johnrockstone]

Another excellent video!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@Aaronnanneman-c1q]

That one train I see right there is looking like a USA diesel locomotive because that is so awesome man sweet and wicked cool dude

[@recklessbehaviour01]

My part of the world. i live right in the middle of all this goodness, mind you, it looks very different today, many of the trees are gone and Lytton is all but gone……Massive wildfire June 30, 2021.

[@7ideaproductions]

Yes I am glad I got to see it when I did.

[@Barbac62]

For Trains to use Canadian Pacific for East Bound and Canadian National for West Bound makes Economic Sense. Reducing Bottle necking and providing a smoother Flow of Trains thru Canada.

[@denisetindall1487]

I like train videos on KZbin 👍

[@TigerDominic-uh1dv]

Great Video and Job😊

[@TMB5BER]

@1:32:26 to @ 1:32:44 ,, you can see Kamloops RCMP and what looks like IHIT ,( integrated homicide investigation team) on the hill

[@dlj4660]

ARE THE CENTER AND REAR ENGINES IN THE TRAIN OPERATORED BY WIRE OR WIRERLESS REMOTE FROM THE FRONT ENGINES ?

[@asullivan4047]

Wikipedis: push -pull train 🚂 both locomotives controlled by 1 driver. Remote control can lead to safer & faster breaking in an emergency situation.

[@OregonCrow]

Less talky more trains.

[@andreiionescu205]

They are using the original rail ? Werent the lines designed for totally different trains?

[@campbell9091]

Original lines, not original rail!

[@DebbieMurray-t1i]

Really prefer Canadian Pacific railroad.
