Located on the Western Coast of Canada, Vancouver offers some of the most scenic surroundings in all of North America, both for recreational and train watching opportunities. It's also known for some pretty interesting train watching opportunities.
Three major Class I freight railroads make their way through the "lower mainland," in addition to smaller short-line railroads. On the passenger side, Translink's West Coast Express operates on the CP Cascade Subdivision, offering a cool look at this rather undershot operation. Amtrak Cascades, VIA Rail's Canadian, and Rocky Mountaineer round up the passenger trains.
In this throwback from the Summer of 2018, you'll see various West Coast Express, Canadian National, Canadian Pacific, and a bonus appearance from VIA Rail's Canadian. I focused mostly on the morning and evening rail operations along the CP Mainline, with some shots from the CN Mainline in Fort Langley. Locations all listed in the video.
