CPKC Shuswap Sub - Eagle Pass, Shuswap Lake and Notch Hill - Revelstoke to Kamloops

Описание: The Shuswap Sub runs from Revelstoke, BC to Kamloops, BC and crosses some spectacular and constantly changing terrain. After crossing the Columbia River at Revelstoke, the railway leaves the Selkirk Mountains behind and digs in for the climb up Eagle Pass and towards the location of the Last Spike on the Canadian Pacific Railway at Craigellachie. The railway then enters the Shuswaps and runs along Shuswap Lake, through Sicamous which is the houseboat capital of Canada and towards Salmon Arm. After leaving the Shuswaps behind, the railway climbs through Notch Hill, where a CP grade reduction project in the 80's created an impressive horseshoe curve. After conquering the 1% grade, the railway then drops down towards the South Thompson River, which it will follow into Kamloops and then towards the Pacific Ocean.

In late April 2025, we spent some time on the Shuswap Sub and made stops at the Clanwilliam Tunnels and Three Valley Gap, before checking out the Parks Canada monument at Craigellachie. Unfortunately, there was highway construction in Sicamous and no shots to be had, so we will see some trains snaking through Canoe and Salmon arm. We'll also see a handful of trains at Notch Hill and at Chase. At Geddis, westbound trains set out excess locomotives, which are no longer needed for the river grade run to the Pacific Coast. Eastbound trains lift these units, to be sent back east to assist the next tonnage train over the Rocky Mountains, the Selkirks and the Monashee ranges. We'll see a few trains at Campbell Creek, where the CN Okanagan Sub departs the CP mainline and heads towards Vernon and Kelowna. In Kamloops, we'll see a few trains from out hotel room beside the CP yard and watch the Rocky Mountaineer come into town and perform their station stop. For good measure, I threw in a clip of CPKC 401 departing Kamloops at Benledi with a pair of SD70ACu on the Thompson Sub, which will be feature in a future video. We'll finish our tour of the Shuswap Sub off with the Rocky Mountaineer crossing the South Thompson River just after sunset.
