Caption: A warm summer afternoon, having just descended the Kelly Lake Hill, we are looking forward to a brief stop at Lillooet, pickup some operating authority, stretch my legs and the all important "comfort stop" in a gender designated room in the station. This day for me started at 0:600 in Quesnel, this image taken at 15:08 and we still have another 90 miles and perhaps 5 hours on duty yet to go. It's a long day on the Rocky Mountaineer "Fraser Discovery" operating on three subdivisions. You will notice a person in the cab of the second unit, one of the on board staff having a free moment from the coaches to enjoy the scenery and most likely sneak a quick smoke.
