That's all I saw too, although there may have been one in the tunnel during the break. The diver up front sure earned his pay. It helps they were going down hill with the river
Wonderful video for those who love trains. Spectacular and fantastic. Impeccable image quality: Bravo and Thank you! **/** Magnifique vidéo pour celles et ceux qui aiment les trains. Spectaculaire et fantastique. Qualité d'images impeccable: Bravo et Merci!
Fantastic video, brings back many memories. I've driven along this route twice, but didn't find the fantastic vantage points you did. Have also had the pleasure of seeing the route from onboard the Rocky Mountaineer which was great. Looking forward to getting back there soon.
That was incredible. The scenery was beautiful. Some of the shots with the large mountain in the back ground made the trains look like they were HO scale on a layout. Don't know how anyone could unlike this.
I was thinking the same thing. It reminds me of my own setup when I was a kid, though my mountains weren’t as glorious as these! Stay safe, stay sane, Stay Strong Ukraine 🇺🇦
It's hard to believe the length of the first train is not a photoshop job but it isn't. There have been some brilliant Canadians in the past who managed to build this railway. Such a shame this kind of talent hasn't filtered through to the present government.
John A McDonald really stuck his neck out to have this built, no matter what! But today we have too many red tape departments with their hands out for money! And a soft meek unconfident leader right now who can't even outright react to help a pleading Ukraine in a non Uhh Uhh maybe Uhh fashion! SAD! Just SAD!
Fantastic scenery and camera work and the trains are immense. Excellent footage. Oh to be in that Observation Car! Thanks for posting this one. Cheers!
Incredible footage, what an outstanding cinematography job you did. It was a real pleasure watching the vid. I came across Canada in 67' (end of winter) from Halifax to Vancouver, 5 days and 4 nights. A mesmerizing trip during the 'centennial' year. That trip is still imbedded in my mind, crossing the frozen St Lawrence river and across the vastness of the prairies, to name a few. Keep up the good work, kudos to you. All the best. Cheers
As a note of interest, at 2:35 the free-standing conical steel structure that appears on the left is called a Beehive Burner used to burn waste wood from a sawmill. Usually ranging from 30 to 60 feet in height. They have an opening at the top that is covered with a steel grill or mesh to keep sparks and glowing embers from escaping. They produce a large quantity of smoke and ash, which is vented directly into the atmosphere without filtering so they are no longer used very much.
Oh and we also have CNR on this side of the bridge, goes right through my back yard. But the CP one has the loudest horn possible as it doesn't have the protected crossing like the CN does
Fantástico ver os trens a serpentear à margem de um grande rio,me parece que no Canadá,se for,o país deve ser muito bem servido do transporte ferroviário. 👏👏👏👍 Assistindo essas espetaculares imagens em meio às belas paisagens da natureza,de Ituiutaba-MG,Brasil,as 22:00,em 28/08/21.👐🙌
In the first segment (through 8:10) has to be the longest single-engine train I've ever seen on RU-vid. Sight was so distant, I couldn't tell if there were any DPU's. If true, it must have been downhill all the way. Seems likely since the left bank train (starting at 8:15 was headed with 3 engines. Splendid setting/scenery. I
i do not know this area. but only two (2) locos. how can they ever even think about stopping? as they can not get enough air into the system. i would love to go there and see this place.
I work where the longest train ever was (mining company in Australia) I’ve even been stuck at crossings on site when they are heading off delivering ore to the port. But I’m guessing that record one was back during the mining boom because the longest ones I see at work are probably only half of the first one in this video. Our trains carrying ore have 4 engines, yet first train only had 2, were those containers empty or something?
There could be bout 50% empty for containers for the ports, but goods travel east and west in Canada so it is hard to say. However, It's a down grade of about 1.3% all the way through the canyons to Vancouver so two units could do the job easily.
Another factor, is the locomotive power. Some of the CP trains were hauled by 2,000 hp GP38-2a. Others had more modern locos, such as the AC4400, which have 4,400hp.
It always depends on each train. As a locomotive engineer(retired) for CN in Toronto, the trains i operated were usually 12,000 + feet on average and the heaviest train I operated was a potash train weighing 32,000 tons. I loved my nob
@@ngineered4u The heaviest trains in Canada are the iron ore trains operated by the Quebec North Shore and Labrador. These weigh in at 38,000 tons. They are the third heaviest in the world. I have travelled over the QNS&L, with the passenger operator, Tshiuetin Railway, part way on the locomotive. I have done every passenger line in Canada, except Churchill. That includes Carcross, Prince Rupert, Vancouver, Calgary, Whistler, Quesnel, Jasper, Winnipeg, Toronto, Aldershot / Kitchener, London, Sarnia, Windsor, Niagara, Toronto to Cochrane to Moosonee, Ottawa, Montreal, Senneterre, Jonquiere, Quebec City, Halifax, and heritage lines like the South Simcoe, the Orford Express, the Credit Valley Explorer, Hull Chelsea Wakefield, Chute Montmorency to La Malbaie, Port Stanley Terminal Rail. Plus Skytrain, West Coast Express, Go Transit, EXO / AMT Montreal etc. Regards, from London, England.
Some of that footage looks much older than 2018 based on locomotive types and liveries. For example the train from 13:37 to 15:40 with most cars (and one locomotive) still bearing the old CP Rail "multimark" livery which was rare by 2018. And CP stopped using cabooses on freight trains long before 2018.
No, it could very well be! In Canada, we use vintage locomotives on vintage 1910 railway technology! While most countries use LEVEL concrete ties or sleepers as the British call them, we still use rickety wooden ones with spikes holding the rails!
Canadian Pacífico, uma ferrovia que liga Leste a Oeste do Canadá, transportando vários produtos dentro do Canadá e também para os EUA. São trem enorme com várias locomotivas. A ferrovia procura passar beirando rios por ser uma região plana, contornando as montanhas.
