- this episode features a Crew change at North Bend and the Rocky Mountaineer through a tunnel and over bridge. The scenery continues to be spectacular. #trainspotting #railfanning #train #railway #cpkc #canadiannationalrailway
Started my day off with this video. What spectacular drone work to enable us earthbounders to see the Frazer Canyon from such a view point. Thanks Tony
Glad you enjoyed it!
The usual accolades for this video. Beyond great is what I call this one. Lots going on with the crew change. Out bound crew has a trainee conductor (not a young guy either), the color of the video really pops (makes you think that u are on the ground in North Bend, the inbound hogger couldn't wait to get the smoke into his mouth(reminded me of myself) and the aerial shot leaving North Bend was awesome. I was able to pick out my buddy's property just north of the old station. It provided me a look at his garden. The footage of RMR rolling into Boston Bar (aka The Ditch) was superb!
@@johnmcgarvie4061 thanks John, neat that you know someone that lives there. That CN bunkhouse is fairly new. It looks pretty posh.
Good ole N Bend. Never the same after they took the Beanery out. Great video.
@@reginald2004 thank you glad you enjoyed it
Loved seeing the crew change and the PK check! ☺ And awesome catch of the Rocky! I could see myself floating down the river in a canoe trying to "race" her!😂 Well done as always!🤗
@@pixiesweeney6535 good morning and thank you 😃
Another fantastic video Tony and we enjoyed watching once again. Have a wonderful upcoming week. Steve
@@StormySkyRailProductions thanks Steve, you as well
@@TonyVRailfanning you're very welcome and thank you also.
this drone footage is amazing
Totally agreed.
@@dougjones6616 thank you
@@damianblack3643 thanks
@TonyVRailfanning Your videos have me wanting to go out watching trains too.
@@damianblack3643 brings a whole new perspective to them doesn't it LOL
Breath taking as usual Tony !!
@@OrganMaster thank you, that area is spectacular
learn something new every day !!! Never knew about white flashing and solid signals.. Thanks again Tony for another great quality video, in all aspects including narration and explanation!
P.S. I love watching these with a duel screen set up, then one screen can be open to google earth and I can find the locations you are at. It adds even more to it!
@@djteako your very welcome, glad you enjoyed it
Thanks!
@@OrganMaster thanks so much 😊
Hi Tony. Great shots of the Mountaineer. I went over that road bridge. Seems weird 40 years on but got me wanting to come back and do this again. Caroline from UK.
Thanks Caroline, glad this brings back good memories.
The Rocky really travels at slow pace so everyone has a good view of the canyon. Still on the bucket list. Lol
@@dougberry1011 the RMR was given instructions to take it slow because there was a train in front of them that was doing a crew change so there was no point in them coming into the area quickly.
Awesome video.
@@Koda-k8v thanks so much
Was in North Bend recently. Was wondering about that flashing light. Nice Rocky on that bridge. So hard to see that without a drone
@@andrewmcarthur3843 yeah that was a busy area. It was getting pretty warm by that time for me.
Thank you Tony for sharing and your efforts in making the video. I love the static periods with the drone where the train moves through (North Bend) the field of view; well done. If that CN intermodal was 12/13 K feet long the crew doing the roll by has to have patience and be alert for that time; necessity of course 🙂
Love the RM wb on the Ashcroft sub, with the drone one would never see that part of the canyon. I know some enthusiasts have climbed down the south side of the bridge and taken pictures as a train emerges from the tunnel. The drone is sure an asset to show off that which can't be seen from the road.
Was that our friend with you at roadside where you were filming from?
Thanks again and I look forward to the next video.
@@LightBear7 thank you so much MB yes that is our friend who I met part way through my trip home
The bridge in question is over Nine Mile Creek, about ten miles east of North Bend. You should have known that. There's a sign on the road.
@@Greatdome99 I missed the sign and as I have never been through here before (at least not since I was a kid) not a big deal is it?
Tony fabulous as always and thank you 😊
@@kilt2024 thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Rocky Mountaineer should use some of your videos for their ads.
@@MJohnny05 i’m planning to send them an email and offer the videos up to them if they want them
Fantastic catch of the Rocky, Tony! That's awesome! 🙂
@@hunsbuckel55 I figured people would enjoy that location with a train. Didn’t know the RMR was coming so that was a bonus 😃
Comments disappeared..will finish watching..
Fantastic footage..4k..just gets better and better..thank you Tony
@@nohandle5544 your so welcome.
Hi Tony, just a quick question, you mentioned the white light flashing indicating a clear signal so they wouldn't have to block the crossing, had the signal been red up ahead, would that light be a solid white, or not on at all? And thank you for the work and time you put into making these videos for us to watch, please keep up the great work. Thank you dear brother.
@@Docnty you’re very welcome yes, that lunar signal would be solid white If the main one at the end of the yard was a red signal and the lunar signal only lights up if a train is in the block.
So the Kamloops crews for both RR’s have their respective sleeping quarters on each side of the river and cross over to head back unlike the old days when they didn’t share trackage.
@@dougberry1011 CN actually built their bunkhouse on the CPKC side. You can see it right across from the Y. It is fairly new.
RMR might like some of your footage by the tunnel.
@@dougberry1011 yes, I need to send them an email about many of the videos I have taken including it passing over Stony Creek bridge
It would be helpful if you could explain things more as to tell the story of what we are looking at. You might know but the average viewer wont have a clue.
@@elrolo3711 not sure what more you want me to explain, did you skip parts as I do explain what is going on
