THIS IS BC Rail!

"...And now to the raw horsepower, rugged mountainscapes, pulsating diesels, scenic vistas, melodic horns, ringing flanges, and eye-catching blue and silver; and red, white, and blue..."
A fully loaded BC Rail southbound climbs the over 2 % grade near station name signs "Green River" and "Wedge" (between Pemberton and Whistler) on the Squamish Subdivision. The manned mid-train helpers known as the 'Pemberton Pushers' help keep this massive train moving. Filmed b/w 2002-04. Double Ditch Light Productions.

[@EdmontonRails]

love the K5H!!!!!!!!

[@TTGVP]

Thanks CN....

[@FlyBikes089]

Yeaaaaaa, because those BC Dash 9's ditchlight had got double ditchlight!!!!

[@AirplaneDetective]

when I was little I had this documentary on the squamish line of BC rail used to watch it ALL the time. still pop it in every now and then and go back in time

[@-watermelonking]

you still watching it?

[@NicoDaycon]

CP Rail? no THIS IS BC RAIL!!

[@Kvr3005]

BC RAIL IS EPIC !

[@dutchtrainmanserie22]

Awesome railfan video.5*!!!!!!

[@Kvr3005]

THIS IS EPIC !

[@dermsUK]

yeah thats one big ass train alright

[@CLastoProductions]

Thats pretty neat!

[@vicguy12]

Awesome!

[@randofos]

that´s a really really long train. XD

[@trainboi21]

3 engines in the middle of the train? fucking cool !!! i never see that where i live lol

[@NPTNReddek]

probably there because the Squamish Sub does have a good amount of hills

[@CP359]

Outstanding capture! That beautiful K5H sound, and three mid-train helpers! What a shame we'll never get to see this in real life now. Thanks for capturing and posting these shots of BCRail in its prime! Dave

[@JohannesDeml]

finally you can now watch never-ending rails on youtube. I mean, well yeah I hate to wait in real but when i can watch in on youtube it's just funny :D Great job, I like it

[@BNSFbeagrett9647]

It's probably just for some fresh air-flow into the cab.

[@digimaks]

So strange how they got 2 diesels in the middle of the train! Never ever seen that being done... I did see some trains with deisels in front and back of the carloads though...

[@Slipperyisimproving]

BC Rail still moves under Canadian National rule. BC Rail isn't forgotten.

[@billtheguy5141]

Most locomotives have been scrapped or sold and I haven’t seen a train on the bcrail line south of quesnel in a while

[@zemoosehunter]

U guys make me HOME sick, keep them posted.

[@cfcstevie1888]

i was counting them trucks and the dam film moved

[@FlyBikes089]

sweeet!

[@pennsyr1]

Hell yeah!

[@ljones121]

anytime, this practice was also seen alot on the old denver and rio grande western and the southern pacific as well, they'd stack 4 or more units in the middle of a 110 car train, plus another 2 or so on the end. and your right this isn't used that much anymore with the more common use of DPUS and out in my neck of the woods, manned rear end helpers in the mountains.

[@Kvr3005]

A sight that will never happen again

[@imurbrain87]

ROFL look at all the cars waiting for like 4 mintues!!

[@jarettrobak]

@ATributeToBCRail how do they make sure all locomotives are working the same power? otherwise wouldnt the front ones be pulling the middle ones if they were going a bit slower? or vice versa... is this complicated or fairly easy?

[@Jaiv74]

Hope the black car dude is not in a rush...

[@cheechchongfan97]

My cousin Mike worked for BC rail.

[@ljones121]

that's actually not un usual, those diesels are swing helpers placed at a point in the train where they are pulling almost equal to the amount they are pushing as they go upgrade, its usually done, if the helpers are gonna stick with the train for a long time, as they are harder to cut out then rear end or head end helpers/

[@CSXer]

What are those tall gondola type cars and what are they carrying? They don't seem to have any kind of discharge chutes under them.

[@BNSFbeagrett9647]

How can you tell?

[@MultiArrie]

damn that a long train 72 40 feet ? carts. Howe do they control the second set of Loc´s

[@InfernoTwD]

That'd be a pain in the ass to wait through...Especially if the train was going uphill. Were people actually getting out of their vehicles? It looked like it - Not that I can blame them. That's one powerful train.

[@realgraff16]

what do you think of grafiti...

[@giddygiddy85]

yeah i believe you, ive seen bigger since i moved to australia

[@atsf3780]

Where were the helpers cut in and cut out of the train?

[@bcr4601]

Cut in at Darcy and out at Mons( Whistler)

[@giddygiddy85]

what about the last 22 seconds????/

[@DarthSatoris]

This ride is amazing! How many wagons are there? And WHY are there so many?

[@BNSFbeagrett9647]

Wood Chips

[@nsglc1985]

Do u live at peberton because there is not much action around there the best spot is north Vancouver Station

[@brakeman302]

Wow an ideler 70 cars back? How many cars was there total in this train? I was disapointed after getting to 72 or so to have you edit the rest out! lol Great video!

[@MestFan561]

why is th door open on the train

[@JsaaaK]

Tak to je fakt drsný...hóódně dlouhý vlak! Kdepak to je?

[@westernpacific333]

what kind of horn is that

[@coffeecat4506]

Very late to this comment so apologies, but that is a Canadian tuned Nathan K5L train horn...

[@ppoutine]

@trainboi21 Heh, neither do I. Sure I see some in the front, middle and end, but never that many! Ohh well. That's what I get for living in Manitoba.

[@archerofloaf]

bc rail is gone... perhaps even most of the line in 09

[@Jaiv74]

What do you need all thissand for?? You colud make a 1000 milesbeach withit.

[@compaqeo]

ha i dont even like trains i just came across it by looking up BC

[@ReassuringSmile]

the POINT is...that 0:01 - 4:22 is ALREADY long enough, people can give a fuck about the extra 20 seconds extension, and I dont think its replayed footage, the train is too long so that camaraman paused and resumed to save the film.

[@ReassuringSmile]

0:01 through 4:22 was 1 clip and that was pretty long

[@Reshor123]

69+ cars :D

[@Kvr3005]

I know BC RAIL, and the trains were that long before the U.S economy went to shits.

[@giddygiddy85]

ive absolutly no idea what logic was used, that comment was from 4 years ago, i dont even know why the fuck i was looking at trains back then,

[@asb070]

kinda too many diesels. seem's like they're not powerful enough

[@Kvr3005]

There wood chips not sand

[@skinnyshit8888]

K9inda stupid to leave the front door open on the engine isn't it?

[@owain852]

i think its wheat

[@AthyNa100]

that is long imagin if it was slow it would take like 2 hours

[@Boss302fan]

what a sad, sad, sad life you must lead.

[@wctrain]

to bad bc rail is operated by cn now

[@celica825]

lol

[@thunderstallion]

british columbia

[@mukatuna]

'you and this video are fake' ... Bwahahahaha. Of course it's not fake. Canadian trains are many times longer than anything you'd see in Ireland.

[@giddygiddy85]

fake,its obvious you just played the same clip over nd over again,

[@JoeTheBro123]

ugly train hehe
