In my mind the former British Columbia Railway mile for mile is the most scenic railroad in North America. Between Howe Sound, Cheakamus gorge, Seton Lakes, and the climb out of the Fraser River canyon how much more spectacular can railroading be....and all in less than 200 miles. This is a view of the climb out of the Fraser River canyon. I'd like to think the harsh lighting adds to the drama of this difficult stretch of railroad, but judging from the number of hits, the lighting just makes it a backlit picture.
