Skeena Pacific - From the Archives CP2816 Chase - Coquitlam to North Bend with Chris Wasney 2001

Several years ago, I transcribed some video tape into a digital format for Chris Wasney. By the time I met Chris, he had gone back to taking excellent photographs that included railway subjects. But once upon a time, Chris did some video, and with his permission I now present a series of his video clips.

This video, was taken between CPKC (then CP) Coquitlam Yard and North Bend, BC. The occasion was the move of CP2816, a Hudson locomotive that had recently been restored to service, from Coquitlam to the eventual destination of Calgary, Alberta.

Video is edited, produced and rendered using Cyberlink PowerDirector 2024 Ultimate.
