BCR X718S #22 100 MILE HOUSE BC 9-3-88
BCR X718S train #22 from the highway bridge over the tracks just south of 100 Mile House BC on September 3, 1988. With only two units, M630 718 and M630W 730, on the head end you know that the train will have remotes. At this point in time it was a rare to see a train with one of BCR units in one of the green schemes.
100 Mile House BC is located about midway between Vancouver BC and Prince George BC. When photographing the BCR 100 Mile House was the perfect place to stay for a nights sleep. More often that not the reward for staying the night at 100 Mile House was a morning southbound BCR freight train like this one and along with a northbound morning freight BCR train #23. BCR train #23 was a hot shot train for the BCR with lots of loaded trailers for towns on the BCR north of Prince George.
