Deep in the Albert Canyon a westbound grain train with narrow door box cars meets a train of empty bathtub coal cars alongside the Illecillewaet River. Three big MLW's lead the train with the third unit in CP's original diesel paint scheme which is being superseded by action red. I believe that much of this territory is now double track as a result of CP's capacity expansion program.  While this view can still be seen from the Trans Canada Highway only the lucky few riding the Rocky Mountaineer can see this by rail.
