| Description |
At Basque we'd crossed over to the Canadian National line to Kamloops. The Canadian Pacific does have a line through Kamploops, but no station. At this point as well CN and CP trains seemed to have started running trains in both directions down their lines suggesting there were more passing places and also fewer connections between the lines. On the left can be seen part of a huge CP freight train whilst the left was our huge train. And our train was massive. Which was ironic because only three coaches actually had passengers in them (plus a couple of crew coaches). Most of the train was running empty, but with good reason - on the return journey it would be carrying significantly more people back from Jasper as well as picking up even more at Kamloops for the trip to Vancouver. The longest train the Rocky Mountaineer has hauled was 41 carriages long in 1999. Meanwhile the busiest train was in 2010 and contained 1323 passengers. We were told at Kamloops that the train had to shunt three times in order to let everyone off at the station, and that a fleet of 50 coaches were required in order to take people to their hotels. Not sure how long our train was, but even at its large size it was significantly shorter than the freight trains which ran at around 150 cars long. Over night at Kamloops our train did shrink a little as some coaches were left behind. |
