BCR Parting Shots

After my initial week-long trips to BC Rail in 1990-91, I passed thru the area twice more on trips to the Northwest, in 1998 and 2002. By this time the speeders were replaced with hi-rails, the paint scheme had been simplified to solid blue, Train Orders and cabooses had disappeared, and off the shelf US style GE's were the latest power while the Draper cab units that were so new and shiny in 1991 were becoming distinctly tatty in appearance. These would be my parting shots of freights on the the BCR before operations were assumed by CN. My shots of the RDC's from 2002 are on my "Canadian Budds" video.
