Squamish, BC

Former CP 4069 FP7 taken in June 2000 at the BC Rail shops in North Vancouver, BC.

The 4069 replaced the CPR 2860 on the Squamish excusrion run since the 2860 was in disrepair while the CPR 2816 was being overhauled for the CPR in the BC Rail Steamshops. The CPR 3716 was also not running at this time, thus the 4069 was leased from the WCRA to run this train. Two photos: Mark Forseille

4069 taken exactly one year later in 2001 is Northbound at Porteau Cove at MP 26.5 of the Squamish Sub.
