In order to show my railfan acquaintance how one can chase a train from the summit of Kicking Horse Pass all the way to Golden - the area covered by his planned guide, we decided to chase this train. The next several photos were all taken from roadside locations. This was our eighth photo location, from a now removed bridge that hosted a muck more dangerous routing of the Trans Canada Highway through this area. I don't believe that this shot is reproducible now, but the old highway is still there and a better shot may exist now that the bridge is gone. I have not see any shots from the new bridge. I suspect that the view upriver is not all that spectacular though.
