The Paired Track through Palisade Canyon: SP track on the right, WP on the left.
Big mistake: I saw this train coming and *ran* up a hillside to gain 200 feet of elevation. I should have been sitting up there and waiting. 6000 feet of elevation really hurt!

Mid-train helpers work from D'Arcy at Mons (siding at Whistler).
In a few moments, 4652 North will meet 4624 South at Creekside siding.
This is as far as a northbound chase from Whistler can go. The tracks become relatively inaccessible north of Anderson and Seton Lake.
Running on the main past Creekside siding. Often, the morning northbound will meet southbound PGNV here about 11 a.m., but the southbound is about 3 hours late.
Morning northbound rolling by old train (now Greyhound) station.
Pemberton Push engines pull up short of the old train station (now Greyhound) before reversing to the spur where they sit between assignments.
Helpers have cut out and now run light back to Pemberton.
