We didn't see a train when in Ashcroft, but the CP script gondola was certainly worth shooting
|
We stopped at Heritage Park in Ashcroft for a few minutes
|
First train of the rush that we caught between Ashcroft and Spence's bridge
|
The power lines behaved for once and stayed out of our way
|
A shot where the train actually got in my way, if Darren is willing to admit that such a thing might actually be possible
|
Only a couple of minutes later we caught our next train which had four units on the head
|
That second unit looks a little bit different
|
It's CP 5745 in expressway paint
|
A slightly better view of the loco in Expressway paint
|
One final shot of the train
|
What is to be expected when shooting out the driver's window from the backseat when the car is moving at highway speed?
|
This may sound close to sacrilege to some, but I'm beginning to enjoy scenery shots more and more
|
A scenery shot nearby the Nicola River bridge while awaiting a train
|
The trees make a nice frame for the lead loco
|
One of these days I need to shoot that bridge from the other side of the river
|
It looks like the chief railfan has sprouted a set of horns
