About BNSF3450


From the time I was introduced to the layout in our attic, to watching trains rumble around our local freight yards, I have had an enthusiasm for the hobby. Picking up my first camera in my mid-teens, gave me a chance to capture the variety of changing scenes that we see in the Railway industry today. With digital it has made it easier to share those on a place like this site.

A southbound BNSF from CNs Thornton Yard crosses Bridge 69 at the south end of Mud Bay in Surrey, BC on a nice, sunny evening. Note the CSX C40-8, a neat find, mixed into the power.

More of a profile shot of CNs newest power, as train 570 passes through Wedge, just north of Whistler, BC, with the Sea to Sky highway off to the left hand side of the image.

At Green River, almost 10 miles south of Pemberton, the trio continue their pull of 40 cars upgrade. On this day the mountains were getting a nice dusting of snow at higher elevation.

A trio of factory fresh ES44ACs do the bidding on the former BC Rail line, bringing southbound train 570 through the Pemberton Valley, passing the flowing river that feeds Nairn Falls. Not being able to operate in the US because they are Tier 3, 25 of these units are now based out of Prince George, doing freight duties on the BCR, as well as coal service.

During an evening at Swan Landing, overlooking Brule Lake, we would experience thick clouds, along with a number of rain systems covering the mountains, on the east side of Jasper National Park. Fortunately our timing would work out, as the rain clouds would clear up and brighten just in time for Canadas Premier passenger train "The Canadian" to blast on eastward. The calm waters provided a nice reflection too.

The clouds that loomed around earlier in the day have cleared up and the sun shines bright on the Massive Mountain range, as CP 9728 shoves on the tail end of an eastbound grain train.

Looking in the other direction from the previous image, approximately a year before, we see CP 9751 grinding her way up the Big Hill at Yoho, sanders in full blast. Note the striped plow that this celebrity engine wore for the movie Unstoppable, with a near clean paint scheme.

Cathedral Mountain and Mount Stephen are framed on either side of CP 198, which is climbing the Big Hill. CP 9716, looking rubby with coal dust, shoves as tail end remote, as CP 8944 and CP 8712 pull up front.

CP 8851 east is coming into Field for a crew change, meets westbound CP 9605 at the west end of the yard at Field. The reflection and sunshine added a nice effect to the image.

CP 8762 hauls up the Big Hill, passing underneath towering Mount Stephen, as the clouds band around in an attempt to hide Cathedral Mountain.

The sun pops out in the late afternoon, highlighting the head end of westbound CP 199, which is just west of the Continental Divide with Mount Richardson as a dramatic backdrop.

It is said that Nicholas Morant championed displaying Canada through his lens to promote the landscape. One such demographic was the Canadian Rockies. Johnston Creek, with the ever dominate Castle Mountain is said to be one of the other areas Morant was famous for shooting at, besides the curve so famously carrying his name. Thanks to a friend, I had the opportunity, minus the scaffolding to capture an eastbound in Morants footsteps.

Those EMD turbochargers in full swing, the Rocky Mountaineer heads eastward through the former station name sign of Hector, after pulling up the Big Hill. We had chased the train on the east side of Palliser in the Kicking Horse Canyon and all the way the billow of smoke was non-stop.

Eastbound manifest 204 is seen crossing the Ottertail Bridge, as it closes in on Field, BC for a crew change. An neat observation was to see "Red Barn" 9014 back on her old territory, when these units ruled the rails around here.

Heres another of the Trains Unlimited 3716 charter. Our train has been put into the pocket track at Marne, located along Anderson Lake for a meet with the southbound passenger train. BC Rail was unique for its use of RDCs and it was a neat opportunity getting them meeting the steam. Both now of an era gone, but not forgotten.

During the weekend of May 27, 28, 29, 2000 Trains Unlimited Tours chartered the BCR "Port Coquitlam" 3716 and 4 cars from BC Rail for a trip from North Vancouver to Kelly Lake, BC. The trip consisted of photo run bys in many of the scenic locations along the Squamish and Lillooet subs. This scene, taken crossing the Cheakamus River Bridge, was one of those examples.

Vias classic passenger train The Canadian has departed Vancouvers Pacific Central station moments before, on its way to Toronto with holiday travellers and tends to be a long train for low season. Standing above train 2 is an artists statue, that was put in place prior to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

BCOL 3903 is seen southbound on its way back to Thornton Yard with cars it has lifted from CNs Main Yard in Downtown Vancouver. In 2012, only a few years after this image was taken all 11 of these B39-8s were retired by CN.
