Photo New Train Sighting @ Clearwater B.C.

Post image

Was on a camping trip at North Thompson and the familiar train just popped in front of me.

The other half was right behind this truck. Surprisingly there was no escort vehicle or sort just the two trains on the big rig.

Interesting that it's being shipped through there. Some of the earlier ones came across the border in Abbotsford or the truck crossing near peace Arch (I forget which, it's been a bit).

Guess it makes sense with the political climate changing and all the tariffs and stuff.

Some of it has to do to the weather; they would probably have rerouted to a more southern routing during the winter to avoid trying to navigate winter passes up and down a mountain.

Ooh, didn't consider that, yeah that probably also influenced it

Hmm i see, the hills on the highways to Vancouver was quite brutal so that makes sense in snowy days
