Travel with 7idea Productions to beautiful British Columbia, Canada where both Canadian Pacific and Canadian National traverse the rugged Fraser Canyon. Cutting a deep swath through the Cascade Range, this is an important link in the trans-Canada rail network connecting Vancouver with Montreal.
This program follows each line’s course along opposite banks of the Fraser River between Hope and the confluence with the Thompson River at Lytton. These competing railways operate jointly in the canyon. Eastbound trains use Canadian Pacific’s Cascade and Thompson Subdivisions, while westbounds travel over Canadian National’s Ashcroft and Yale Subs.
One of the many highlights of the canyon are the Cisco Bridges where both railways cross the river with the CN flying over the CP. Our summer and winter visits reveal the grand seasonal contrast of the canyon’s appearance. Add to that a great variety of trains from hot shot intermodals, to coal, grain, potash, mixed merchandise, and the Rocky Mountaineer and you will know why railfans the world over love visiting Canada’s Fraser Canyon!
This program was shot between July 2016 and January 2017.

Woah, that sound at 47:17 is intense!
Another 90+ minute railroad treat from 7Idea. Christmas in February!!
Just posted 3 minutes ago! happy to see another 7idea video. I watch them over & over. The trains & views are just great. Thank you for the beautiful videos
I love seeing CN because they have such an amazing variety of power leading their trains
A bunch of this line was absolutely wrecked by floods a few years ago. That freight was able to continue through this corridor so quickly is a tribute to the engineers and laborers that keep this line intact
Thanks! Fantastic presentations.
Wow! Thank you very much!
Always a good day when 7idea uploads. Very glad I subscribed.
You're the BEST 7idea!!! Love your video's!!
Always stellar! Well done!
Congrats on 40k subs 🎉
The Thompson River route has some cool snow and avalanche tunnels along it's path which is fun to watch as the trains pass through them. Fun Fact" This portion of the Fraser is loaded with gold still, with many claims along the way!
Near Haig was also the division point for the KVR to the bridge. I love your channel.
excellent video sir . ❤❤❤❤😍😍
He’s back!!
I have always liked your Videos. I am glad You came North to Video in Canada.
@7idea Productions - you guys have great jobs!
As ever - beautifully filmed and presented.
Looks like a great video, direction running originated in the late 90s
That’s right, it was Oct or Nov 1999, and not 2006 as stated in the video commentary.
Interesting/informative/entertaining/excellent photography job/illustrated maps.Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator is describing. Remember Jimmy Rogers the " singing breakmen " a genuine R.R. Break man till switching to a singing career🎸🎶🎶. I've noticed all the different graffiti styles painted on the box & tanker cars. Enjoying this presentation from the comfort zone of my computer room. Along the " Space Coast "🚀 of Florida 🐊🐊. Wishing viewers/R.R. Employees a safe/healthy/prosperous ( 2024 ). A % of commodities we take for granted at the retail stores. Arrive by train 🚂.😉.
Nice seeing what Lytton used to look like before the big fire destroyed the whole town in 2021.
thanks for posting this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aaron: such fabulous footage! Thanks 😊
Motion photography at it's finest -!!😉.
Fantastic video and locations!
❤ a trip on the rocky mountaineer will be a good honeymoon

First trainiac,.... wo wo !!!!!
I changed rail on that bridge at 1:19 nothing like tryna bang on clips and watching the clip on the other side send it 500ft down 😂
Also changed rail on the bridge at 1:27
@32:20 Unless there has been recent changes, potash ships out of Vancouver Harbour, not Roberts Bank.
Nice video 7idea Productions. Next production idea you can film this year should be the CPKC Shreveport Subdivision through the Ouachita Mountains. I don't know whether you are taking ideas from viewers or not? It is a very interesting line that you could cover. It might take a little research before hand.
Unfortunately 90% of the village of Lytton was destroyed by a wildfire in 2021.
Nearly every house within the village was destroyed. The fire largely leveled Lytton's Main Street, burning the post office, ambulance station, health centre, RCMP detachment, Lytton Hotel, and the Lytton Village Office. The Lytton Chinese History Museum was lost, along with 1,600 artifacts, museum archives and library. The railway and highway were also damaged.
Trains were initially blamed for starting the fire. By mid October 2021, the Transportation Safety Board ended its investigation concluding that it had found no evidence that the wildfire was caused by railway activity. However, the TSB also says that the lack of evidence does not 100 percent rule out a train being the cause. The BC Wildfire Service and the RCMP indicated they were continuing to investigate.
My father was in a train wreck in 1970 on this route.His train collided with a rock slide near martinson ( a small village south of Lytton before Boston bar).I believe the two engines are still in the river. Do you have any footage of that area?
I don't recall that I do.
BC Rail was technically leased to CN.
That particular job is best suited for a young,single, non smoker because you have to be away from home for 3 months at a time, and then you get 1 week off and 2 days of that week might be spent just flying to get back and forth and sometimes you have to be ready in case there might have been a derailment in which case you have to travel to where ever the derailment was and you might just sit there for hours and hours until the mess is cleaned up, new track installed and then you set your testing truck on the track and test the track to make sure that the new track is good and a certain length of what is still intacted checks out to be good. And also to start out for this company starting wage was at that time 13:50 an hour and went up to 17:00 after a year or more, I don't know what it is like now, and for a driver / mechanic which is what I was I would start at sometimes 4:30 in the morning and never finished until 8:00 to 12:00 am depending cause you had to work on the test truck after being on the track all day testing, so you had to fix anything that went wrong with your truck and you had to rebuild your test wheels if you didn't have time to do it between train scheduled times and you had to fill both your water tanks with either water for summer time texting or antifreeze for winter time testing these were sprayed on the test wheels to keep them clean, sometimes you had to work on the weekends, repairs greasing,wash the truck and that is about it working for SperryRail.
13:30 Lay down, stretch out, head towards the incoming train, same goes for tunnels. (Of course as far as you can get away from the tracks as possible.)
This won't work on North American trains. the fuel tank or snow plow will grab you and turn you into spaghetti faster than you can lay down. The best thing to do is get out of the way.
It's truly astonishing how little to no sense of self-preservation that family had on the bridge. 😮
Do Union Pacific's Marysville Subdivision
Can see my buddys property at 5:25 😂
Deroche BC
