Westward from Kamloops Lake, CP and CN follow the Thompson River into a canyon, through Walhachin and onward to difficult-to-access Semlin (CP on the south side) and McAbee (CN on the north side).  Here is a late evening time exposure eastward view at the east end of CP Semlin on Sunday 1980-06-08, with headlight and ditchlight streaks of CP 5676 + 5651 westbound in the foreground, a CN westbound across the river, and the Trans Canada Highway distant above.  The total peaceful environment there made it a happy campsite for me.
