In this video I have taken clips from video Ive filmed over the past 3 years putting them all into one seamless package featuring information on how difficult the build was through the Mountains for Canadian Pacific back in the late 1800s.
This includes building The Spiral Tunnels, The pusher stations, Connaught and Macdonald tunnels and so much more!
This one has ton of information in it and would definitely be educational for those who dont know the challenge they went through.
PLEASE consider donating what it would cost to buy a Blue Ray of this video as it took a lot of time to edit. I originally was not going to make this available to view on RU-vid

Unfortunately due to a false copyright claim that RU-vid wont revoke because they don’t actually investigate I had to replace a section so here is the replacement version

Get a grip yt. They dont understand they can be replaced. Which part was it? Watched the og 5 times

@TonyVRailfanning 9 месяцев назад

@@darrenoftheNorth it was music that I used in the part at Rogers. The music is copyright free by the artist on YT but he scams you taking the revenue claiming after its not

Thats a shame.

Well, I don't know what is more fascinating, the entire video or the incredible job the workers did along the mountains to what it is today. Now I know some more, and this will certainly guide me to some places next time I go! Congrats, you certainly did a great job, even inspired me with those alternate takes between grown and aerial takes! And btw, I'm also curious to see if there's some train that will get all the way to Mexico, let's see what CPKC has in it's plans for this.

@TonyVRailfanning Месяц назад

@@Trainspotter3033 thank you that is much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it. CPKC did run their steam locomotive 2816 the Empress to Mexico already. We will also see freight moving between Canada and Mexico

Hello Tony, just thought I'd let you know that I made a small contribution but it was when your other equally awesome video 'The Grande Cache Subdivision' came on. No matter I guess as long as it got to the correct recipient. Found your video when it was featured on the DJI forums. It's refreshing to watch what some may consider a monotonous video of long trains. Your expert editing of trackside and aerial shots as well as your highly informative narration was totally engrossing.

Excellent video. Your narrative is very informative and educational. How much of the line is double tracked?👍✌️♥️🇨🇦

@TonyVRailfanning 9 месяцев назад

Thank you, There is 25miles of double track between Revelstoke and Albert Canyon and then it goes the rest of the way to Donald before double track begins again to Golden. There are sidings along the way in between,

@johnmcgarvie4061 9 месяцев назад

Who cares about the music. It's video content and the skill of the videographer that counts. Tony-use Smoke on The Water for us old metalheads. Maybe you can use Sabbath's Paranoid also. LOL!

@areguapiri 4 месяца назад

Why do they need hurricane force winds inside the tunnels?

@TonyVRailfanning 4 месяца назад

Because they need to clear the bad air quickly before the next train comes through. It takes 35min to completely refresh the air even with that amount of airflow

@williamcarlson5405 9 месяцев назад

From WC USA, It seems to me that the US and Canada could tunnel bore with one of those Hugh boring machines through the Continental divide once or twice for double track and then both countries could use those tracks and then tracks could be built East and West from there through valleys at more or at decreasing grade to the East or West Coast? So someone just needs to explain to me why that would not be possible? Yes I understand that it would be expensive and would take years but it was done in Switzerland over 15 years or so but now it is done in use and saving millions of Euros in transportation costs?!

@TonyVRailfanning 9 месяцев назад

I do agree with you that building through the divide in both countries would be beneficial and yes, cost is a huge factor and unfortunately it cost even more here than it does in European or other countries, because labour costs are so high here.

@kirkzevola5004 6 месяцев назад

Can trains head east on the Mount MacDonald Tunnel? Also how can one access the Mount Macdonald East Portal?

@TonyVRailfanning 6 месяцев назад

in certain situations they can run east through the Mac tunnel but its rare. The east portal is access at a turn off on the highway just after crossing Bear creak westbound if you blink you miss it. You can not drive to the entrance you have to park and walk about 1km.
