Rocky Along the River

            Rocky Mountaineer Railtours train 609 glides alongside the Fraser River through the curves separating the long tangent stretches at Hydro and Glen Valley in the Vancouver suburb of Langley, BC.  The 21 car train is one of several trainsets that RMR has in place running from Vancouver to Jasper or Banff during the summertime.  The massive wildfires which consumed a large part of Jasper National Park and some of the townsite at the end of July ended the runs to Jasper, but put some additional passengers onto the Banff runs.  The RMR's second route to Jasper via Prince George is currently turning in Quesnel, BC, with the passengers being bussed to Kamloops, where they get on the next days train to Banff instead.

This angle was only recently made usable again recently, thanks to the Township of Langley sending a large tractor equipped with boom mounted flail mower along River Road, and throughout the Glen Valley area.
