About RailEngr

I’m a VIA Rail Engineer from Western Canada. My favourite trains are the Canadian and the Rupert Rocket, so you’ll be seeing a lot of the Silver Ladies of the north. The Hudson Bay also holds a place in my heart. I haven’t forgotten about you guys!

One of my favourite scenes in the canyon are the Skoonka Tunnels. Not to be confused with the Gladwin Tunnels, this picture came about because The Canadian normally runs through here in the dark. Wishing for the train to be late to get this shot in the day is unfair to my passengers. Skoonka is a First Nations work meaning “Where women make water”. There are several springs along the rock wall. This, of course, is a recipe for mud and rock slides. I have had to dig The Canadian out more than once at this location.

Just passing through the Jasper suburb of Brule, VIA 2 escaped Swantanamo… I mean Swan Landing rather late. Some say this is CN’s Morant’s Curve. You can see why. I do hope that one day The Canadian goes back to the real Morant’s Curve and we can watch the Super Continental back in it’s rightful place.
