Westward from Kamloops, CP followed the south shore of Kamloops Lake then the south side of the Thompson River onward from Savona, climbing to a summit at Walhachin and with CN on the other side of the lake and river.  Here, with CN’s Deadman River bridge behind the photographer and that waterway emerging into the Thompson River west of Savona, a CP westward train of grain boxes is ascending behind CP 5832 and 5841 at mileage 28.8 on Monday 1979-07-16 at 1555 PDT, with three miles to go to reach Walhachin.

  1. In the early years of CP and up to 1931, Savona (25.6) to Walhachin (31.2) was a helper grade, and the old alignment is very clear a bit east of this photo, at GPS 50.74162, -120.89741. Today’s alignment is just a hard pull westward.

    Check https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhSw3pijfrniFVGB6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy for a very clear section of the old grade.

  2. Beautiful.
