Speedy CN Intermodal Action in Valemount, BC! | Featuring New CN 3334 AC44C6M Rebuild!

Hey everyone! “I thought there were supposed to be mountains here…” I thought to myself as I waited trackside in Valemount, British Columbia. Clouds and a light drizzle shrouded the small mountain town, which I was visiting for a snowmobiling trip - and of course a train or two! An endangered searchlight signal down the telegraph pole lined right of way told me there was a train coming, but with the mountains hidden from view, I just wasn’t happy with my shot. That’s when I decided it was all or nothing, and I went to try and find some mountains! Adventuring with a diesel and snowmobile trailer is easier said than done, but when I finally came to this crossing, I knew it was the one. I hopped out, got set up, and sure enough I heard the train echoing in the distance as the daylight slowly slipped away. Up ahead, a meet was about to take place with another intermodal train as darkness enclosed the small snowmobiling town of Valemount, BC. I would then catch the second train, as it knocks down a clear searchlight signal just outside of Valemount, BC! Thanks for watching!
