The race is on!! With both trains speeding towards a crew change at Kamloops, CP's Vancouver-Toronto hotshot 100-22 is seen at left while CN's Vancouver-Edmonton M31051 21 is seen at right. They're heading eastbound along the shores of the Thompson River just east of Ashcroft, BC.

    Another fab shot by Mr. Stevens and yes,there is a CABOOSE in the Ashcroft Terminal,now a major employer in this area.The film companies love this part of B.C. for it’s diversity of topography and dry climate.Obviously it is also a wonderful spot to photograph trains.
