See the Canadian Pacific in the heart of Canada's spectacular Rocky Mountains, between Field, British Columbia and Exshaw, Alberta. Stunning scenery, snow covered mountains in some superb weather. In addition to CP's action red SD90MAC's and AC44CW's, we caught a rare CN diversion train, the Rocky Mountaineer an CP's beautiful restored F units on a publicity run of the Canadian Pacific. We take a look at the Spiral Tunnels, and one of the most spectacular railfan locations on the continent, Morant's Curve.

The sub runs from Golden to Revelstoke, British Columbia, through some of the most stunning scenery on the continent. Lots of snow on the mountains, AC4400's, SD90MAC's and tired SD40-2's provide the action.
