Victoria Day, Busy day on the ex-BCR Squamish Sub

[E&NRailway]

Yesterday was a busy day on the Squamish Sub. CN ran 3(2 571's and 1 569)
northbounds out of Squamish and 4(2 570's and 2 568's) southbounds out of
Lillooet. Plus the passenger trains(Whistler Mountaineer and the Budd Lites) and
the 546(Squamish Switcher(North Vancouver-Squamish)). Twelve trains on the entire sub yesterday.

Picture: After making the trip from Lillooet to Squamish on my train, 568, the power sits at Squamish, ready to go north again on 571. The 3900's(B39-8) have been showing up a lot lately on the south end.

That's a beautiful area. I had the good fortune to visit the area twice back in 2002, including a chance to visit the museum at Squamish. Unfortunately I didn't have too much time to do any train watching other than visiting the museum.

Nice to see native power on their own home rails.

Yes. It's beautiful up there. Perhaps a good reason that company attracted fans and followers.

Hey, that's not its real home is it? I thought that I remembered catching those down here on their 'real' home rails ;)
