Caption: It was a tight squeeze to include all of the eight cars and two units of Great Canadian Railtour Company train 104 into this shot, with GE B36-7 units 7488 + 7498 leading eastward across CN’s Ainsley Creek bridge on Thursday 1991-10-03 at 1323 PDT. This location is 5.5 miles upriver in the Fraser Canyon from Boston Bar.
Getting to my perch for that shot was a challenge, too, clambering down the rock from highway 1 far above (and then back up afterwards!), but definitely worth the effort.

And the first two seasons (’88-’89) of the Rock Mountainer were VIA trains with ex CN Dayniter 5700 series coaches…such a success your Government sold off the route – after all a Government entity should not earn profit…
