Vancouver Island, BC passenger service to return?
Today's Trains Magazine News Wire reports that the Canadian federal government will be providing partial funds to restore passenger service on Vancouver Island, BC. The service was suspended in 2011 due to "safety concerns." Seen here on a hot July morning in 2006 where temperatures were unusually hot (into the 100's), the Malahat train races past the abandoned station platform at Malahat, BC. Due to lack of weed control, (as seen by the RDC's seemingly gliding over a carpet), the train had to be followed this day by a highrailer for fire patrol.
