Other train related experiences included a spotting of the Canadian Pacific executive train and a visit to the spiral tunnels. Hard to get a good pic of the executive train without breaking CP trespassing laws.
I also saw the area where the train derailment this past winter killed the crew. Roads had to be built to get it cleaned up. I didn’t see any cars waiting removal.
You'll love it! My wife and I rode it from Vancouver to Jasper in 2016. A wonderful trip. But you will be going the opposite direction and a different route through Lake Louise and the spiral tunnels to Kamloops and an overnight stay. Kamloops is an interesting railroad town with a steam-powered train ride.
