That really old crashed car at the beginning must have been an unexpected discovery. The scenery and train footage is pretty nice. Excellent job! By the way, Happy Canada Day 2024 to you and your family!

[@tjguy98]

When you see the closeup of the first train on the edge of a cliff you think "Man, how did they ever put a railway through here"?

[@cornbinder]

How about the guy who went there to Video it. Awsome

[@LeitoCristofoli9022]

FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC video my good and dear friend, it really is fantastic 🤩🤩🤩🤩. Like 38 👍!!!!!!

[@roberthenry9319]

Absolutely amazing and marvelous video. Cannot thank you enough.

[@thompsongl]

The chrome bumper on the Morris looks like new ! Great train videos !

[@reginald2004]

You could only catch a glimpse of one from the other side of the river. I think it's a Packard.

[@johnmcgarvie4061]

I am amazed that those old wrecks are still there. I remember a video of yours from a couple of years ago that showed the wrecks.

[@TracksideTyson]

Thanks for watching John!

[@reginald2004]

Just to reiterate than CN/CPKC loads (west bounds) are run on the CN track to Matsqui/Mission and vice versa for the empties (east bounds) on the CPKC side. That's because the CPKC track can be more like a roller coaster. They saved big time on power requirements and both RRs could now run longer trains. I was the Con on CP's first test. The train was essentially 2 empty grain trains 13,400 feet long. Two engines on the head end and two in the middle. At Kamloops they just split and ran separate. Crew consist, 1 Con & 1 Eng along with a one armed supervisor. We did not set the brake until our crew train location. The train was long enough the engineer could control it with dynamic brake only. A non stop run as everyone else was in a siding for us.

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

Great video, great shot. Land slide detectors exist in Sweden due to old slides happening once. Driving trains if there's been no land slide sounds like risky for the train crew, and the company. Many US railroads look like this, dangerous.

[@reginald2004]

It can be down right scary. I worked for CP on the other side of the river and we could see a lot of CN track. After one particularly nasty storm a tunnel with an additional slide shed at one portal had a bolder half the size of a locomotive sitting on top of it. I'm guessing that the only thing that saved it from collapse was the loose debris from previous small slides. Took them a couple of weeks to clear it off.

@@reginald2004 I retired early, completely, 8 years ago and I love the time, the freedom I've got. Whow, having trains like that passing by close. I can hear the sound of trains, if the wind is favourable....

[@trainsinkansas576]

Awesome video, as trains snake through the mountains. The scenery was wonderful the mountain stream , all the old cars and other items, it was great. What it must of been like building train track through the mountains.

[@dougberry1011]

Tyson are you west or east of hells gate. Nice old ‘55 or ‘56 Chevy. Lol

[@TracksideTyson]

East of hells gate! Thanks for watching Doug

Friend, your video surprised me , that landscape was incredibly wild and beautiful. Congratulations and greetings from Chile.

[@jamesburnside3023]

Awesome coverage cool those old cars not so cool the drink cans

[@JohnNyren65]

Great video Tyson!

[@rickkearn7100]

hose old cars must have a story to tell as to why they ended up there. You sure find all the good vantage points, TT. Had never heard of slide detectors until now. Great post as always. Cheers.

[@Sorry1498]

Very long train

[@masadi-w3p]

Fantastic and dangerous railways...

[@Keikdv]

Somebody did a video about KCS units never leading a train because of lack of safety equipment. I guess, he was wrong...

[@frederickschulkind8431]

Possibly Ferromex. I believe that they are not allowed to lead trains in the United States. I don't know know about Canada, but I suspect that is the case there.

[@TracksideTyson]

I heard the reasoning of them not leading was because the KCSM units had Spanish context inside the locomotives.

[@caroldavis7169]

Awesome video TT, I can’t remember the stories behind the old wreaks, could someone remind me please.

[@TracksideTyson]

Not to sure, one car looks to be an early 60's Chevy sedan, second car in the video is possibly a 1950's car from another Country, they've been down there for quite awhile! This is near Hells Gate. Thanks Carol for watching!

Hello!

[@paulbowler2760]

The Morris (Oxford) wreck (the black car) would be from the early 50's - they were a well-built and popular family 4-door sedan. I wonder how it got to its final resting place?

[@TracksideTyson]

Lots of history in these Canyon's. Thanks for the comment!

[@bert-qu3iq]

Just needs a bit of Bondo and it's good to go!

[@cleenlivin]

Very beautiful scenery and footage of the trains winding through that area. Much admiration and respect for the folks who designed and built the tracks through that area.

[@ThePathfinder66]

Cool to see the slide detectors close up, a while back I questioned if those were catenary poles and you straightened me out. Nice to see the old wreckage from way back, I think you're part mountain goat! Love your train videos and how you include the beauty of the Canadian Rockies. You and RailCowGirl in Norway are great at highlighting trains and nature at the same time!

Nice spot to shoot from Tyson! How did that car get there?! 🤔

[@TracksideTyson]

It would have crashed off the edge of the highway and slid or rolled down into it hit the final last tree before they plummet into the Fraser or the railway bed!

Incredible trains. I always wonder how such a long train stays on the tracks and doesnt try to straighten out. Excuse my ignorance but are the intermediate and rear locos controlled from the lead loco or by separate engineers?

[@TracksideTyson]

They are paired with the lead loco.
