Awesome !!! look forward to more...I'm always trackside somewhere along this route. Mostly at Piper and Eldon.

Never seen Braid Crossing from this perspective before... Do you drive the trains, or were you enjoying a ride?

OMG my favorite youtuber commented

[@NameIsCanadian]

And I am from Vancouver too!

[@Welwyn22]

Ah, I see. Well, it would be nice if I could know when trains are due to the minute, rather than the hour.

[@Welwyn22]

Are you going to be working next week? I'm thinking of going to Vancouver to finish 2009 off, I'll probably be at Braid crossing at 10:40 to see the Amtrak, and then I'll have a McDonald's at Broadway Station before coming back to Braid for the 11:30-1:30pm trains I know come through.

@Raildog111 hard to say, I got in at the right time, a lot of older guys are retiring. If you want to get a job on the railroad do it now(depending on how old you are, you have to be 18 to legally work on the railway) CN is hiring about 2000 people across Canada, they're so short of people.

[@enr3870]

Most of the trains through there are run as required, there is no schedule.

[@enr3870]

I have no idea. I'm on the spareboard. and on call 24/7 with 2 hrs notice. I won't know when I'm working until they call me 2 hrs before I'm supposed to show up for work.

[@enr3870]

@Raildog111 3 years working as a conductor, 1 month in class training through CN, and 6 months training with a locomotive engineer.

[@enr3870]

I was the conductor(guard) on that train. But yes, I am a locomotive engineer.
