Canada: Trains through Black Canyon - British Columbia
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- My last full day in Canada before heading back to Australia via the USA, I visited what happened to become my favorite railfan location in Canada. Black Canyon in British Columbia, just south of Ashcroft.
Standing on the cliff, you can see trains for a significant distance coming from Ashcroft.

I'm absolutely amazing at how long some the trains in Canada are? Goodness 😅 I don't think I've ever seen trains this long in the US?
Absolutely Stunning place 😊❤ What a spectacular 😂 train spot! 😊
This brings back great memories of working for CN as a signal maintainer and gang foreman. I walked every mile of that track and climbed every pole from Kamloops to Vancouver in the mid 80's. Black Canyon has to be one of the hottest places in Canada. We recorded temperatures over 45C beside the tracks on a July day.Beautiful country other than the extreme heat and the rattlesnakes (we were provided snake bite kits). Thank you for the video!
Thanks Phil. I could imagine especially the devastation in the region in 2021. I’m from Australia, even 45c challenges us down here!

Wow!!! I never saw anything like this! Longest trains ever❤️❤️❤️
Canada has some really long train for sure
Great capture of the moving trains at such a beautiful place such as the Black Canyon. Thank you for the great work!
¡Qué hermosura!
Brasil, Canadá y Estados Unidos...
Los trenes de carga más largos del mundo 🌎
From Australia too and managed to get to here also. Just magic. Doesn’t matter where you come from if you are into trains don’t miss this place!
I live here and you did a spectacular job on this video.
I've been on a jet boat thru here as well.
Awesome!!
Thanks so much.
Wow! It’s breathtaking view. These are the best and thrilling tracks that I’ve ever seen. Thank you for sharing this video
This is most spectacular train video and location I have ever seen. thank you so much for posting this for everyone to enjoy!
Thanks for the kind works. Hoping to revisit the area one day!
It's beautiful, dangerous and of course longest train I have ever seen...thanks
Wow, an incredible feat of engineering!
In 1980 when I was on training in Canada with CP Rail ,I passed in this area in freight train.Very beautiful sceneries with forest can be witnessed.
Must have been awesome !
Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
This video has it all - two busy main lines, steep cliffs, river, bridge, tunnels. What more is there! Thank you for sharing.
Giant Beyer-Garratt locomotives would just top it off.
This is the north end of the Fraser River - Thompson River Canyon system which cuts about 250 km / 150 miles through the east or dry side of the Coast Mountains on its way to the Pacific Ocean and the Port of Vancouver. There are many other videos on YT of this gorge, the Cisco Bridges are downstream.
A very beautiful Video.
Impressive Landscape.
I have never seen a train with so many freight cars.
Impossible in my country :)
The rail traffic would collapse :))
I subscribed you.
Greetings from Switzerland.
Head over to Canada - they are all like this!
I was meant to be in Switzerland actually this month. Oh well, one day!
This is my backyard. Beautiful country!
Also a beautiful video!!
I was impressed by the magnificent scenery. I pay great respect to your efforts to reach the best shooting point.
that is one of the coolest train sights I have ever seen the tunnels mountains lakes a super long train picture perfect !!
Same here! I’ve been lucky enough to photograph trains in all sorts of parts of the world. Black Canyon is one of my top 3 locations I’ve been to.
I do believe this is the most beautiful RR scene I have ever witnessed.
Wow! Stunning! Thanks for the great video. It is much better to see it from up there than sitting at the road crossing! In our area, I think they schedule the trains to be at the crossing when you are late for work. LOL.
Wow, yet another spot I've never ever seen in any American railroad magazine. Thanks, Ozzie mate!
The Thompson River Canyon pops up a few times in various magazines. I’ve got a ton of images here on my flickr account.
Really awesome engineering marvel superheroes and breathtaking views of black canyon. Thanks so much for sharing
I traveled from Nova Scotia to BC by train a couple of time long trip but great views you can't get by highway just couldn't get away from the window if you have the time and want a great experience give that a shot well worth it !!
Awesome video. Thank you for making and sharing. Certainly gives a whole other perspective to Canadian rail transport. I find myself wondering how long of a hike to reach your viewpoint!
outstanding train video, long ones. countryside looks good too. Looks like two busy tracks. Thanks for an outstanding download. (Mississippi Gulf Coast USA).
The scale of the landscape makes it look like a very well done model train layout. :)
Huu
Can you imagine how long it took to make that tunnel ❓❓👍
Bet it was hard labor ❓❓
Bless those guys ♥️🙏🙏
Super fantástico! Párese un sueño.felicidades a todas las personas que hicieron posible este documental
Tremendous video of our fantastic Fraser and Thompson canyons and our CP and CN railways in action. Just great stuff. In Canada we call them railways not railroads - it's a subtle distinction.
Wow.wounderful and super catching in camera.👏👋👋
Very fine model trains set, I especially like the realistic weathering on the cars.
They are real trains. Not models.
In 1979 I have travelled from Montreal to Revolstock on goods train. The train was about one and half kilometer long. Six powerful diesel engines were hauling the train. The train passed in beautiful hilly area. Though 39 years has passed but looks still remembering the journey. Engr Nabi Bakhsh Marwat Lahore Pakistan
Я восхищена ! На что способен человек? Спасибо авторам таких видео - монументальные кадры.
What will always impress me is that each and every RR car must be strong enough to pull all that are behind! That is some technology, IMHO! Thanks for a great video!!!
Hans Quennet thanks! It’s certainly amazing technology

Don't forget there are power units in the middle and at the rear pushing. And the knuckles do break occasionally
Beautiful colorful train cars ‼️‼️. 👍👍. Beautiful scenery
Love it🥰💋👌🏼👌🏼
It's beautiful! Congratulations! Amazing movie. Thank you! Best regards from Brazil!🇧🇷
Beautiful Thompson River!!Love the area from Boston Bar to Ashcroft!Gods Country!!
Completely agree! I cant wait go back one day
Muito bom apreciar essa linda paisagem, além da ferrovia que é uma obra fantástica da engenharia!
Amazing engineering...considering these tunnels were blown over a hundred years ago.....Thanx OZ!
Incredible train shots taken from in BC, very cool seeing the two mainlines across from each other, I liked the shot of the CN grain following the CP intermodal train. This location isn't to far from me and I'd like to make a visit down there sometime (looks like you need a number for permission on the land) to take some train videos. Thank you for uploading this! I am a new subscriber to your channel. Greetings from Canada!
C'est très impressionnant ... quel train, quelles puissantes machines ... !!
Thanks a lot for so great photos...
Great video, looks like a big model train
Bless you
Wow .... BC is beautiful , actually whole country is heavenly ..
Lucky to be canadian 💝
Only two engines pulling that load through that terrain....Fantastic.
Great rail therapy....Thanks for sharing👍👍👍
Interesting to see on the grain trains how the high-capacity covered hoppers are slowly replacing the cylindrical government-built ones and how GE power now reigns supreme. 25 years ago it would be all cylindricals and EMD SD40 models. I love the solid cut of brand new beaver logo hoppers at the end of the second to last train.
I love the Canadian government and various provincial hoppers! Always super interesting to watch.
Awesome, amazing so lengthy freight trains. Excellent rail infrastructure of Canadian National.
BOTH Canadian Pacific and CN mainlines run along the Thompson River (as seen here) and the Fraser River. They are active competitors, each with excellent infrastructure.
Both CN & Canadian Pacific share each other’s tracks at this location all the way down to just outside Vancouver. Way cool.
This video appear like "A TOY TRAIN running on the track"...This is so imagining..!
Thank you very much for sharing this AMAISING! Video.The location and timing is so perfect.The scinery as well.When Ilived in toronto I always wanted to travel by train in the fall seazon,but I never got to.Too bad!.I love canada,my second country!.
Thanks so much! It is a wonderful part of the world!
Excellent videos about trains around the world.
gracias muy bonito video es increible la fuerza que tienen esas maquinas
Thank you for sharing! I hope you are planning a return trip.
Mother of all trains
É incrível muito louco e fantástico parabéns pro Canadá!
Mr. Joe Scott. This video is of the Thompson River just below Ashcroft B.C. unless Google Maps is wrong. If you follow the rails southward you will also come to another bridge across the Thompson that is in a video taken from the Basque Ranch viewpoint.
An absolutely wonderful bit of video, many thanks
Thanks Jim, glad you liked it!
Man these things are of enormous length! Like colorful metal snakes... But I guess this is due to the country's equally enormous size. Also, such a beautiful river.
That’s an awesome Video Canadian trains seems to move fast from point to point.. New viewer to the RR videos..
Thanks so much!
Listening to the ear splitting squeaking rails for several hundred feet, can you imagine the racket INSIDE the tunnels?
It’s a brilliant video. Thank you so much for natural sound of the train , keep it up . Otherwise most of the other videos are added with music which is very annoying. You did a great job👍🏻
This is one of the wonderful creations by men . Very admirable and fantastic longest trains on the railways passing thru the man made engineering inventions and modern technologies on land transportation industries ...
Great, for the first time in my life I saw a long train
wow, amazing video. I love trains! Thanx for posting it
Moro no Brasil e sou fã dos seus vídeos... Parabéns!
Que lugar lindo!!
Красиво, и интересно! Глаз не оторвать...
Thank you for posting and sharing! Awesome!
that is a beautiful spot. I have been down the CN line many times testing track. Lots of eagles around there.
Frank Ashworth thanks Frank!! I really enjoyed watching the eagles dive for salmon. Pinpoint accuracy too!
if you look about an inch above the end of the CN trestle you can see a dark wooden structure which was part of the old line. I often see an eagle sitting on the timbers there. I have hundreds of eagle pictures from the Fraser river. Also mountain goats, the odd grizzly and if you are lucky, mountain lions too. Obviously my focus is a little too much on the wildlife. It's fun watching the eagles chase the Osprey after they have caught a salmon.
@@frankashworth4130 hy, how many cars have the longest trains?
Just drove past there last week and we saw three really long trains. Some stopped. Some going. Didn’t realize all the activity that was going on.
Black Canyon can get incredibly busy!
WOW! a a stunning video.... thank you so much ... this beats anything i did today...... WOW! 🍁🌹🍁🌹🍁🌹🍁
Q lindo!!!!acho fantástico as locomotivas
Black Canyon, never heard of it, but it is soooooo DARN BEAUTIFUL!!!!
That scenery looks really good !
It's no end and keep on coming!...Amazing!!. Thanx. for this clip.
Great video, I need to get my drone in that area next summer when I’m in the area
Nunca imaginei ver tal coisa o homem sempre superando os limites coragem sabedoria taí parabéns! E show e dez
Wow awesom! They are moving like a anakonda...amasing
Canadian diesel power
Спасибо за интересную экскурсию
Very nice view!
Great place.
Fantastic video, from a place not easy to access. I never got there.
Øystein Espelund thanks! It was quite a scary drive on the dirt road. No phone signal either. One of those moments where I thought "why am I doing this?!" It paid off though.
Excelente video saludos desde cochabamba Bolivia
Amazing location and video. So glad you went there !
На какие станции прибывают такие длиннющие составы?
That's amazing that both of those long trains only have 2 engines pulling them!
Sometimes they have an engine in the middle and 2 at the end to psh
@@anyneuvecelle353 Westbounds are pretty much downhill all the way to Hope. A bit further west and both railroads run their loads on the CN track and empties east on CP.
Exiting and beautiful this video ❤️
Es increible el paisaje hasta ahora es uno de los mejores videos

The train on the right side of the river is making good time considering he only has two units.
Boa tarde parabéns vcs são muitos guerreiros em construir uma ferrovia dessas adorei o vídeo parabéns mesmo

What language is this? Ancient yemeni? And why is your comment highlighted?
I planted telegraph poles in Manitoba and north Ontario for CNT 1957 and 1958
