BCOL/BCIT Pacific Great Eastern Railway Company

This predecessor company name disappeared on April 1, 1972. Hoping there are a few BCR family fans out there. Thought I'd take a railroadiana trip back about 30-40 years. To some places that are now no more.

Alta Lake:





Boxcab E50

 

An unusual use for a form. This 13" long paper, is normally reserved for use in putting out a "schedule" order. Instead, it's a very lengthy "slow" order.

Chetwynd:





Boxcab E50

 

Clinton:





Boxcab E50

 

Just a few short weeks before the end.

Exeter:





Boxcab E50

 

Fort St.John:





Boxcab E50

 

A crew copied order.

Kelly Lake:





Boxcab E50

 

Kennedy:





Boxcab E50

 

Issued to Passenger Train Number 1. The BC30 was one of their RDC engines.

Lillooet:





Boxcab E50

 

McGuire:





Boxcab E50

 

Mons:





Boxcab E50

 

This order is unusual for a couple of reasons. One being the red lettering. For another, all the "unknown" engines. Someone had failed to notify the dispatcher of power assignments!

North Vancouver:





Boxcab E50

 

Pemberton:





Boxcab E50

 

Prince George:





Boxcab E50

 

Quesnel:





Boxcab E50

 

Again to Passenger Train Number 1. With BC32. Another of the RDC engines.

Shalalth:





Boxcab E50

 

Squamish:





Boxcab E50

 

Williams Lake:





Boxcab E50

 

Gathering the above was a long, long time process. Many, many years of letter writing, swap meets, sales lists, and a rare trade or two.

If interested, can do the same for BCR.
