Skeena Pacific

Описание: What turned out to be my last train for this day was, at least, interesting. Canadian National Train #355 is a daily, manifest freight originating in Prince George, BC and terminating at the CN Thornton Yard, in Surrey, BC. It's a short haul service in Canadian railway parlance, covering a mere 950 kilometres (about 585 miles). It's an interesting consist, with CN3830 leading and CN3078 mid-train. Thanks for the wave! The action was caught at the Mile 88.66 grade crossing of CN's Yale Subdivision,Sorenson Street, Matsqui, BC.

N.B.The photographer and cameras did not encroach on the railway right-of-way in taking this video. It is dangerous, foolhardy (and illegal) to enter on railway rights-of-way. Just sayin' ... "You don't stand on a runway to watch airplanes."

Skeena Pacific is a supporter of the Operation Lifesaver Canada. Operation Lifesaver (OL) is dedicated to preventing collisions at railway crossings and railway trespassing incidents in Canada. They believe the key to achieving this goal is public education. Operation Lifesaver in Canada is funded by the Railway Association of Canada and Transport Canada, working with the rail industry, governments, law enforcement, labour groups, the media, and other organizations and communities from coast to coast to increase awareness about rail safety—because rail safety is a shared responsibility. https://www.operationlifesaver.ca/
