Thanks for watching Donna, i agree the mountains and trains are spectacular. I have some locations in your area that some day I would like to film as well

Thanks, yes soon you won’t be able to see much from the viewpoint. I hiked up to the Stoney Creek Bridge last summer and that area has grown in so much also.

My pleasure!

The tunnels and the railway design sure are an engineering marvel. Thanks for watching

Thank you sir however I didn’t realize it was Laggan sub not Laggen oh well minor mistake most will never know

Shane Maxfield thanks so much, this trip was great !

Yes, I agree. They should’ve rebuilt that walkway however apparently it was in bad condition and parks Canada wouldn’t allow the Railway to rebuild it

Thanks, Ya. I appreciate the work both the railways and the truckers do bringing goods to our table.

Darci DC thank you, a lot of engineering went into building these and considering they had no mashies and no computers to aid in this it's all that more astonishing

Thats very interesting, thanks for sharing

Your welcome Rae, hope you enjoy many others

Your welcome, glad you enjoyed it

It’s an amazing location to see in person, thanks for watching and Merry Christmas

Thanks Brian

Michael Loik thank you, it's a decent video camera. Having the closeups of the train at the lower tunnel was better than I thought. From the viewpoint you really can't see that well any more with all the trees grown up

Jay Turner thanks, it is an amazing feat of engineering

It’s a shame it’s within the Parks as I can’t fly the drone there. That would make for an amazing shot

Thanks Jack, we do have some of the most amazing scenery in the world

It truly is an engineering marvel even to watch today

Thanks Al

Thanks 😁

Alberta Railfanning ya, and a long one to boot!

Ya, the old hoppers gave a train some nice color in those days.

Yes Seen similar, Train 200 heading through Red Deer with CN leading and UP in second.

Talk about "foreign" power . . .

Thank you, yes the entire railway through the mountains is an engineering marvel.

stunning views from yoho ntnl prk

bedazzling trains

Michael Hopper thank you, unfortunately flying a drone is not allowed in the parks Canada zones.

I agree but that’s unlikely as they don’t usually disturb trees for that purpose. Look at Morants Curve for example

Agreed, even Notch hill and Rogers pass should be included

Yes, your correct. La soldadura por termita es algo de lo que quiero obtener un video

They have a choice, normally the remotes follow the same commands as the lead unit is at however they can run them individually if they need to for example if the front of the train is cresting a hill and the rear is still climbing the lead unit will back off on the throttle while the rear unity will still push a little more

The viewing pulloff is right on the highway and the other spot is actually trespassing but I was with a CP person so thats how I got access.

4,267 feet (1,301 m) climbing to the top of the Continental Divide at 5,340 feet

I had special permission to access that area and was with someone who knows the area well. I also had safety gear on. There is access to both locations but it is trespassing to do so

@@TonyVRailfanning If I ever get out to visit that area I'll try to get as close to the tunnels as I can...not just view them from the lookout points. Don't imagine I could get too close to the upper tunnel w/o trespassing so I won't probably see it up close...I wonder about the lower tunnel, though.

@@railfantrainman1000 neither tunnel is accessible by the public. All of the access roads have been closed to those areas.

I guess you can still walk to them, though, right?@@TonyVRailfanning

@@railfantrainman1000 yes, but dont get caught as it will be trespassing

Thanks, Railways often swap power as it’s easier to just keep them on than take off at the boarder particularly mid train units. The railways also keep track of what units are in other countries and “owe hours in return”

I agree but parks Canada won’t allow it

It’s truly an amazing location

Hi Rudolf, the main reason for the long trains is just financial to the railways. The less train crews they need the more in their pockets. Just 2 crew in the lead locomotive for each train.

@@TonyVRailfanning Ok, thank you, that's interesting. I think in Austria and also Europe we have other circumstances. The distances between the stations are shorter and also the speed of the trains is higher and the track is mostly electrical. I have heart, that the accidents at the mountain tracks (e.g. Tehechapi loop) happens more often, becaus of the long trains. So it seems to be difficult to go with such trains over curvy and steeply tracks. We also have in Austria such tracks (e.g. Brenner, Tauern, Semmering, etc.). But the length of the trains in Europe have a maximum of 740m (2400 ft.). See e.g. this video from the Brennerbahn : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZeea8Vhuq3Llqc.html

@@TheKoenigr very interesting to view, yes in North America trains can be as long as 18,000 feet (5600m) but those only travel on flat track through the prairies. CN will run 15,000 (4800m) foot intermodal across the country.
