CP's Kicking Horse Pass

There is no place in Canada more famous than Canadian Pacific's Kicking Horse Pass. This vital link in the transcontinental route was originally a brutal 4.5% grade until the famous Spiral Tunnels lowered the gradient to a more manageable 2%. You'll see a variety of freights between Field eastward to Morant's curve, as we enjoy scenic lineside action.

Cab Ride Over Kicking Horse Pass

Ride over perhaps the most fabled piece of railroad in all of Canada, and through the two famous Spiral Tunnels. Our new SD40-2F wide cab unit, #9020 is the lead diesel on our 3-unit freight eastbound. This video is a nice companion to the CP's Kicking Horse Pass video since you see on-board coverage from Field to Lake Louise. 77 minutes.

CN's Yellowhead Pass

Canadian National's transcontinental mainline crosses through some of the most beautiful scenery in the country. West of Jasper, Alberta in Jasper National Park is Yellowhead Pass which is the CN crossing of the Rockies. Besides a variety of freight traffic, we'll see the famous "Canadian", and "Skeena" passenger trains on VIA rail. 45 minutes.

Canada's Canyon Route

This video features portions of the famous Fraser and Thompson River Canyons in British Columbia. The most natural route through this region to access Vancouver and complete the transcontinental routes was through these natural, and dangerous canyons. Both CN and CP use opposite sides of the river so there is a nice variety of action. 60 minutes.
