A Reminder of Winter
There's nothing special about the angle, or the train, just some winter sunlight and fresh snow on the hills.
CN Q117 hustles through the town of Rosedale, nearing the end of its unopposed run through the Directional Running Zone. Ahead lies slow orders, and a lineup of trains queuing up to meet opposing traffic as they approach metro Vancouver, British Columbia.
The background is dominated by the snow capped peaks of Mount Cheam, a 6,903ft summit in the Cascade Range, and the effective eastern end of the Fraser River Valley. This snow is fresh, and only the second round of snow to touch the higher elevations in the area this winter. As of now, Vancouver and the Fraser Valley have yet to have any snow touch down at ground level. I do enjoy the 'frosted' peaks as background, but am fine without having to commute in the white stuff.
