North Branch | BNSF Trains in Canada

Travel to Southwestern British Columbia where the usually American based BNSF railroad has a main line to the business hub of Vancouver, BC. Running between Vancouver and the USA border at White Rock, many different trains traverse the New Westminster subdivision exporting goods to the United States from Canada.


See the epicenter of BNSF operations in Canada at New Westminster and watch trains travel South along the Pacific Ocean.



The industrial business center transforms into thick forests, farmland, and beachfront through the control points of Oliver, Colebrook and Crescent Beach.

Mixed merchandise, unit oil and grain, and coal loads to the Roberts Bank super port make up the rail traffic along with an army of yard jobs and locals servicing the Metro-Vancouver region.

Amtrak serves the Canadian city with 4 daily trains in the day and night. With new siemens sets on the way, this is the last chance to see last of the Cascade Talgo sets and F40's. This is a true look into one of the biggest American class 1 railroad's mainline into the Canadian Province of British Columbia! Filmed in the Summer and Autumn of 2025.
