Comments on: The Thompson Valley provides many scenic spots from which to watch railway activity, but one of my favourite’s is Walhachin. This shot depicts IC 1012 leading an eastbound Intermodal through the settlement on a cloudy fall morning. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

Never visiting during the fall, I appreciate the autumn colours and the lofty, full view that includes the shiny, barn roofs in the background. These 'blue' barns are located on high ground right along the Trans Canada and represent the only dairy operation within miles. Land is not so conveniently farmed on both sides of the Thompson.
