This collection of videos is a tribute to the former railway, BC Rail, and its hardworking, friendly employees.
BC Rail (formerly British Columbia Railway / Pacific Great Eastern) was once a provincial icon of "Beautiful British Columbia" that safely channeled the province's economic strength to points beyond while sustaining many communities along the way.
Thanks to all those (current) and former BC Rail employees. Some of these videos would also not have been possible without their generous help.
Be sure to check back as there are many more clips to come!
And now to the... raw horsepower, rugged mountainscapes, pulsating diesels, scenic vistas, melodic horns, ringing flanges, and eye-catching blue and silver; and red, white, and blue.
