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.

Looking all new and shiny, CP Cab Control 1126 leads CPs Sumas Turn (Port Coquitlam - Sumas Border) through Silverdale, BC, west of Mission. 1126 is a former GP35 and was sent back east to Montreal last Summer for rebuild.

On a extremely nice, brisk New Years Eve 2014, WCEX F59PHI 905 leads the second West Coast Express to leave Downtown Vancouver for Mission. The train has just crossed the Pitt River Bridge and is framed nicely under the Golden Ears Mountain. Southern BC experienced an very nice few weeks during this Winter, in which we received rare sunshine, which allowed the Coastal Mountains to stand out. What was also rare on this occasion was West Coast Express in daylight. As it was New Years Eve, two of the five trains left Vancouver early.

The setting sun works its way down the horizon, as Amtraks Cascades 517 heads south for Seattle from Vancouver. The train is crossing the Mud Bay trestle, which has recently undergone a re-decking from a wood to concrete.

It has become a rare treat these days to catch a BC Rail painted locomotive leading a train in Western Canada, since the sale of BC Rail to CN in mid-2004. CN 354 (Thornton Yard - Prince George, BC) is seen with BCOL C44-9WL 4644 and CN C40-8 2021, still sporting its UP Armour Yellow, heading through Matsqui Junction for the Mission Bridge crossing to CPs Cascade Sub, as per the directional running agreement. 4644 still has her KL5 horn and was a nice addition to hear.

Westbound meets at Glen Valley sees CN train 417 (Edmonton-Thornton Yard) and CN 503 (CN VIT Yard-Roberts Bank) at Glen Valley. 503 is made up of well cars only and are taking them to the Bank for container loading. It was also neat to catch two older Rent-A-Wrecks from a previous life. CN 2098 is an ex-Santa Fe C40-8W and 5934 an ex-GTW unit.

Its a cloudy day, you are out trackside and the sun is playing cat and mouse with a sucker hole. You know your targeted subject is on its way and at the right moment, the magic happens. On this day CN 2852 shows up in time, as it blasts out of a dark area and into the sunlight, on its way west to Roberts Bank, with a coal train in tow.

Southern Railways Shops Job sits awaiting a new crew, as a Skytrain streaks by above. Once on duty, the crew will to take the train and head back towards Surrey Fraser Docks where customers like Catalyst await box cars that will be loaded with paper products. At the other end of the train a caboose will be used as a riding platform for one of the crew to spot unprotected crossings.

Its the last day of 2013 and Via Rails Canadian is seen streaking southbound across the historic Fraser River Bridge towards CNs Thornton Yard and points east. The bridge is a major junction point, connecting New Westminster and Surrey and sees rail traffic from CN, CP, BNSF, SRY, Amtrak, Rocky Mountaineer and Via. Towering above the Fraser River Bridge is another historic and important crossing, the 78 year old Pattullo bridge, which is the subject of a proposed more modern replacement bridge. To the right, behind the Pattullo gives a brief glimpse of one of the Skytrains bridge spans.

CP potash loads head westbound, crossing the Ainslie Creek trestle, 15 miles east of Boston Bar. Behind the lead unit is a foreign visitor, CSXT AC4400CW 303, far from home. For the past year a variety of foreign power has been showing up on CP, including UP, CSX, BNSF, NS and even KCS.

On a nice, sunny Sunday evening southbound VBCEVE (New Westminster, BC - Everett, Wa) crosses the newly decked portion of the Mud Bay trestle, with Mount Baker being highlighted by the evening light. The trestle, which was originally wooden, has fallen victim for the need to be upgraded as an increase of heavier BNSF coal traffic has become more frequent to Roberts Bank Coal Port.

Pennsy comes to Canada and leads! NS heritage unit ES44AC 8102 awaits to head south from BNSFs New Yard to Brownsville, where it will make up a train that will eventually go back to the USA. Within a week 8102 will make a return trip back up to New Westminster. This would be only the second NS heritage unit to make it north into Western Canada, the other being the NS Interstate locomotive. For this photographer it was a sweet catch of a sharp looking locomotive. Thats one to scratch off the bucket list.

CP SD40M-2 5492 sits behind BNSF 4579, BNSF 8203 and BNSF 4100 as it awaits its move to a permanent home in Sandpoint, Idaho. 5492 was one of 10 unique locomotives on CPs roster, as it was originally a Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad SD40. She looked as spiffy as the day she was released from rebuild in 1995, still sporting the paint scheme that was given then.

A northbound BNSF coal train, destined for the coal port at Roberts Bank, awaits around the corner for its turn to enter the BC Rail Port Sub at the busy junction of Colebrook. This particular location is a hotspot for train watching, as one can spend a day observing east and west CP and CN coal and container traffic, as well as north and southbound BNSF and Amtrak trains.

The daily CN Squamish Switcher is seen passing along the Howe Sound of the Sea to Sky highway, passing the historic mining town of Britannia, BC. On this morning CN SD60F 5523 and two other EMD work horses are tasked with hauling this train, which is returning southbound back to North Vancouver. Its turning out to be a nice day, however by the time the train came along, the sun hadnt quite reached around to our chosen spot, thus the black and white treatment, which Im quite happy with.

During the Summer of 2011, CPs Royal Canadian Pacific equipment made a trip to Vancouver, BC for some special runs to mark the anniversary of the first train to arrive at Port Moody. Over two evenings, seperate employee-only dinner charters were run between Vancouver Waterfront and Mission, BC. On July 7, 2011 the City of Vancouver towers above as the train departs CPs N Yard.
