An eastbound Canadian Pacific empty coal train passes below Skihist Provincial Park on September 25, 2015. On the other side of the Thompson River, a Canadian National work train continues loading fallen rock into Difco dump cars in CN’s never-ending battle with nature through this rugged and unforgiving piece of mainline between Morris and Lasha, east of Lytton, British Columbia.

Our stop in Kamloops was only overnight but there was time to explore a little bit and one of the places we went was Riverside Park, where the North and South Forks of the Thompson River meet

If you follow the log barricade to the left you will see a small Llama. I only noticed it during processing.
... the Thompson River Crossing upstream... I was pleased to see the boulders strewn across the river upstream, because if the next time I arrive here and the water is high, I'll simply bushwhack up the river about 20 yards and cross there.

KCS’s OCS is eastbound on the Mexico Subdivision, and is nearing their crew change point of Mexico, MO. The NS St. Louis District parallels here, and can be seen to the left.
Canadian National train 106 curves over the Thompson River east of Ashcroft, British Columbia, on September 28, 2015. CN briefly shares the southern bank of the river here with the Canadian Pacific main line seen to the left of the train. On the upper left is Ashcroft Terminal, served with a CP spur.

While traveling on Canadian National's Ashcroft Sub, a Canadian Pacific potash train travels west alongside the Thompson River as the train approaches Spences Bridge.
Under a blanket of low hanging clouds, a westbound Rio Grande manifest thunders through the reverse curve just east of Thompson, Utah.

Thompson Peak, AKA “My Mountain” (but I’m willing to share), can put on quite the dramatic show during stormy conditions. This was captured at about 8AM in January 2021 as the morning sun was making what was ultimately a futile effort to burn through the low cloud deck. Like many high ridges that jut well above the surrounding terrain, this one forms its own clouds at the top and can look like it’s steaming when the wind blows across it.
I’m truly blessed to live near this great peak’s base so I get to watch its wonderful shows with some frequency.
A westbound UP oil train rolls up on the east end of Thompson, the highest point on the Rio Grande between Grand Junction and Green River, after climbing a steady 1% grade all the way out of Cisco; a relay-mounted searchlight still protects the siding. In the distance are the towers and mesas near Castle Valley, the furthest landmark on the right being Castleton Tower. Just behind them are the La Sal Mountains which lie directly west of the Colorado/Utah line.
This image features Thompson Peak on the Plumas/Lassen County Line in Northern California, USA. This image was captured as moody clouds moved by in the aftermath of a November storm, just after sunrise. I loved the warm tones the early golden hour sun created in the image!
One of the more famous spots to shoot in the Thompson River Canyon, it certainly doesn't feature the same power from back in the day, but it still features tons of trains. Going east on the CP side of the river, CP 200-15 has a pair of beaver rebuilds leading on a hot morning.
Let's just say that the speed board was accurate, well it appeared to me that is was as this guy was really flying
Two fuselages bound for the Boeing plant in Washington are in the consist of a westbound BNSF train crossing the Clark Fork west of Thompson Falls, Montana on Montana Rail Link's 4th Subdivision on May 13, 2023.
Just North of Clearwater BC, the water sure is clear with the elegant deep blues and greens from the icefields in the Rockies. Passing the old station name of North Thompson which doesn't appear anymore on modern timetables, an empty coal drag bound for Alberta crosses a small bridge over the river the station is named after.
