submrg in Slocan Lake BC 22/11/17

[@chetflyer]

nice to see you bought such a great boat for fishing and diving!!

[@submrg]

Thanks! Yes, we love our new boat!

[@TechTimeTraveller]

That was cool! It's amazing how big that barge is underwater. I keep hoping someone's going to send an ROV or something down to the other sunken barge in Slocan Lake - the one that sank with CPR engine 3512.

[@submrg]

Thank you for the visit and comments! Yes, I'd love to see that wreck too!

[@thebrantfordrailfan]

The barge didn't actually sink, it listed, dumped the train into the lake, and righted itself. Right now, a documentary is being produced about the engine and will feature footage of the shipwrecked locomotive and it's train as they appear today.

i can't wait to see that! it's funny in this small area no one ever mentioned a crew on slocan lake filming the lost locomotive?

[@depleteduraniumcowboy3516]

They did, they found it and are talking about recovering and restoring 3512.

[@GearScar]

The documentary on it just got posted about a week ago on KZbin

[@thebrantfordrailfan]

The compressor is amazingly well preserved, even at that shallow depth. Did you hear about the CPR steam locomotive in that lake?

[@submrg]

I have heard of that locomotive. If it's true it is beyond my dive limits for sure. Slocan lake is really deep.

[@thebrantfordrailfan]

@@submrg It's true, engine is Canadian Pacific #3512, a 2-8-0. Fell off a railcar barge after it took on water and listed, along with some flat cars, a caboose, and a snowplow. They rest upright on the bottom in over 600 feet of water. From what I hear, it is in a near perfect state of preservation and in good condition.

[@submrg]

Awesome! I never knew the number and an actual account. Thanks for the visit and comments!

[@thebrantfordrailfan]

@@submrg A documentary is being produced about the wreck and will feature footage of the wreck site these days. I say one image of the rear of its coal tender, very well preserved, no visible rust and the paint and lettering is intact.

[@submrg]

can't wait to see that. Please keep me updated if possible. Thank you

[@LANDSEAAIRCANADA]

[@BestBuddies.]

Very cool dive man and nice FISH!!! I was starting to wonder if you were going to post any videos its been so long, but now I see this new one and that's great I enjoy these videos keep it up!

[@submrg]

Thank you! Not much to see in the summer months so i mostly just dig for treasure. Getting better as far as visibility goes the colder it gets so i hope to make some more asap! Cheers!

[@West_Kootenay_railfan]

There is a steam train underwater somewhere in slocan lake

[@submrg]

Yes i have heard that before but I'm not sure of it's location. The problem with Slocan Lake is 100 feet off shore it's usually over 400 feet+ deep. To deep for me.
