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 third photo location. We shot the train at the west end of Wapta Lake, but the trees had grown up in a way that I had not anticipated at the time, so I did not submit that photo to PR.ca. So, here it is between the two Spiral Tunnels as it is about to duck under the Trans Canada Highway. Just behind me was an observation deck constructed by Parks Canada to give people a good view of the Lower Spiral Tunnel. It was great at the start, but they failed to recognize that the trees would grow and obliterate the view. I think that have since removed the deck.
