A pretty shot Dave.

The eastbound CN train is running on the Canadian Pacific mainline, while the CN mainline is empty in this photo. CN and CP have an agreement to share each others tracks in this area so that westbounds use the CN line and eastbounds use the CP line. The CP bridge in this photos the second bridge to use the original stone bridge abutments from 1884. The original steel bridge was used for 25 years and then moved to Vancouver Island in pieces.

Very, very, nice! What a great area.

Thank you very much for your information Don. As an English photographer I am not au fait with the history of the area or of the loco types of Canada . I just love the continent!!

You were lucky to see some activity! The last time I was at Cisco Crossing was in November 1959. Here are my observations on this famous landmark. http://www.oil-electric.com/2007/10/cisco-crossing.html

Spectacular....this is a place that is also on my list, and you've only reinforced my desire to visit someday. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a Model Railroad. Nice photo Dave.

I'm going to have to agree with Luke on this one and it does indeed look like a model railroad. But nice shot anyways.

I came to make the model railroad comment but was beaten. :)
