Cisco Bridges Twofer
In a fortuitous moment of perfect timing, opposing trains pass each other on the twin Cisco Bridges as they move from the western to the eastern bank of the Fraser River south of Lytton, BC.
Thanks to an operating agreement between the two Canadian rail giants, directional running is in place through the Fraser River Canyon between Basque and Mission in which normally Canadian Pacific hosts eastbound traffic on their Thompson Subdivision and Canadian National hosts westbound traffic on their Ashcroft & Yale Subdivisions.
Running per the norm here, a westbound CP unit grain load (3x1x0) crosses the river via CN's orange bridge while in the foreground a CN manifest navigates through a tunnel and directly onto the black bridge running eastbound on CP-owned tracks.
