Canadian Pacific trains climb the west side of Rogers Pass in British Columbia, Canada. Shot in the summer and fall of 2014, this program showcases railroading in the rugged and beautiful Selkirk Mountains east of Revelstoke, BC. While filming, we are visited by a few black bears venturing trackside.
This video is a segment from our program "Rogers Pass: Canadian Pacific's Mountain Sub" available on DVD, Hi-Definition Blu-ray, and Digital Download at 7ideaproductions.com. www.7ideaproductions.com/prod...

In my next life, I'd LOVE to operate a train.....what a way to see the most beautiful rivers and forested areas!

I used to be a conductor on the Mtn sub and used to run to the front of the locomotive to try and scare animals ( bears/deer/once an owl lol) off the track. They seem to get hypnotized by the sound and powerful front headlights. I found that many of the longer tenured employees didnt much seem to care what they ran over. Used to piss me off to be honest

The train at 6:30 was CP 9751 and that train was used in the movie Unstoppable for the train 767. You can even see the left over paint on the edges of the plow.

If you come here in winter, come prepared ! I spent the last year in Revelstoke and from November 1 to March 31 the sun was visible for maybe only 10 days, the rest of the time it was cloudy, foggy, and often snowing. Ploughed piles of snow in town averaged 3 meters / 10 feet tall everywhere. "Revy" does not get too cold, it is at low altitude and gets some mild Pacific Ocean air, temps averaged about -5 C / 20 F all winter, and the snow at lower elevations melted quickly in April.

Its generally rain or snow. Welcome to B.C.........

@steelrails1153 2 года назад

At 3:00 is one of the hundreds of snow avalanche chutes up in the trees that occur in this region, this is summer so the 3 to 7 meters / 10 to 20 feet of snow on the ground in winter has melted. Rogers Pass has one of the World's largest snow avalanche control programs for both the railway and the highway that go through it, a small unit of the Canadian Army is stationed there November to April and uses 105 mm howitzers to shoot at potential snow-slides under the direction of avalanche experts, bringing the snow avalanches down in a controlled manner with the pass temporarily closed so that people, vehicles and trains are not hit by them. Up to 25 meters / 80 feet of snow can fall on the mountains in an average winter.

I visited the helper station and the east side just a few months before the McDonald tunnel opened. When it opened they were shutting down the helper station. It was the last permanently manned station still open in North America at that time with two six unit SD 40-s's helper sets. We were hanging around taking a few pictures with the engine crew came out and invited us along for a push up the hill. One of the greatest experiences of my life.

Rogers Pass is located in the mountain range called the Selkirks, one of 4 sub-ranges of the Columbia River Mountains, which run right beside the Canadian Rocky Mountains and are as high and extensive but geologically different in rock type and origin. Eagle Pass, a low pass through the equally high Monashee Range, is just west of Revelstoke, the huge Columbia River has its headwaters all through this region, it is the same river that flows into Washington State and Oregon in the USA and powers the famous Grand Coulee Dam there, along with many other big dams on both sides of the border.

@brentonharding247 2 года назад

The commentary should have mentioned that the Canadian Pacific Railway was the first transcontinental railway not, as Americans claim, the Union Pacific. The CPR runs from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Union Pacific only runs from the west bank of the Mississippi to Sacramento. To be accurate, the narrator should have said the railway runs under Rogers Pass. While the Trans Canada Highway does go through the pass, trains haven't gone through since construction of the Connaught Tunnel. Construction of the Mt. McDonald Tunnel may have lowered the grade but the real reason for its construction was to increase the throughput of trains. The Connaught Tunnel was a bottleneck on the CPR mainline. By the way, the train with the long grey line of hopper cars was a potash unit train on the way to Vancouver. Potash, mined in Saskatchewan, is exported for fertiliser.

@jfmezei 2 года назад

Canadian Pacific is no longer a transcontinental railway. It has brought back only PARTs of its former line to St-Johns via Main (the one that goes thoughh lac Mégantic) but Irving family still onws the railwasy CP abandonned in New Brinswick and parts of Maine.

@brentonharding247 2 года назад

@@jfmezei The CPR is still a transcontinental railway. Its service to Quebec City takes it to the Atlantic Ocean.

@jfmezei 2 года назад

@@brentonharding247 CP Rail has not served Québec since the 1980s. After being ordered by a court to fix a bridge (CP had abandonned service on the line), CP sold it to Genessee & Wyoming. (And Québec City is still part of St-Lawrence Seaway and pilots need to board and gui ships at Matane or Rimouski (forget which) so not the Atlantic. CP had also split its remaining Québec tracks into separate subsidiary hoping to sell or bankrupt it so it could stop its trains near the Ontario border at Les Cèdres. (all it has left is now single track from Smith Falls to Montreal, Montreal to US border (to connect to its Delaware and Hudson tracks to Albany), and the division to Farnham. It has recently purchased back part of its former line through Lac Mégantic (with Federal government money to pay for upgrades and bypass of Mégantic). It has trackage rights to a port in Maine and I think on the Irving Railway to Syt-Joshs, but it isn't its network. CP had made public its desire to exit Québec entirely. As as soon as it was given money to sabotage Windsor station to build hockey area to prevent traisn reaching it (with promise to keep head office in Montréal, it moved head office to Calgary(.

@brentonharding247 2 года назад

@@jfmezei This is all very nice but I am trying to figure out the relevance of 1980 to 1885. When the Canadian Pacific Railway was completed in November, 1885 it was North America’s first transcontinental railway. One hundred years later, you cannot reverse what it was. To put it succinctly, it was what it was. One hundred and thirty-seven years later the CPR is what it is.

@jfmezei 2 года назад

BTW, the longest rail tunnel in the western hemisphere is (at present) the Gotrhard Base tunnel between Switzerland and Italy at 57km, or 35 US miles. Neither Caunnaught nor Mount Mac Donald come even close. Those CP tunnels are unique in that they support ancient steam/diesel locomotives with use of gates and multiple ventilation systems that change role as train progresses thorugh tunnel since it is important to give these locomotives fresh air. In the early days, CP would ditch dining car at Golden and get one back at Revelstoke in order to reduce weight of train going up the original pass. This is one reason they had hotel/station at top of pass to feed passengers. BTW, your videos mention CP traisn from Vancouevr to Montréal, as they no longer have such tracks and all its trains must pass through Toronto and use what is now single track to Montréal, I am curious if the full train consists only passes through Toronto with just a crew change, whether thei change the locos, or pass the train through the sorting yard to create the couple of trains to Montreal that remain.
