Wandering the BC interior always means a stop at Revelstoke, whether its to check the CP yard, to visit the museum, or hang out near the bridge since it usually produces some satisfying photo opportunities.  On this last visit, I elected to park my butt at the bridge which spans the Columbia River (or, as this portion is called "Upper Arrow Lake") and hope for something interesting.
Wish I had known there was a morning work block out there. Beautiful weather for 3 hours and then the clouds began their approach. I'm guessing nothing holds up the Rocky Mountaineer, so it was the first train toward Revy and it is seen here crossing the bridge around 1240. Lead unit is 8013 but I missed the numbers on the follow 2 units. There must have been 20 cars on this train. Very impressive !!!! The destination is Banff.
