Here are some photos of the Amtrak Cascades and Rocky Mountaineer near the border, White Rock B.C. and Mount Baker behind in Washington State, and the White Tall Peace Arch at the border US customs to the right. Also the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway restored interurban car; http://www.fvhrs.org/

In the old B.C. Electric days it made connections to the Bellingham Bay and British Columbia Railway.

The sun was setting just before the Rocky Arrived just missed it with good lighting. Shots at the end of the Wharf are just before it passes the old Railway station used for Great Northern trains now a museum.

Nice photos, I passed there just a few weeks ago.were they taken on the B.C. side. Did you get some Tim Hortons doughnuts White Rock like me...

Are there many people into O gauge trains in that area ? I plan on moving to Bellingham area in about two yrs.

Some pics of the Rocky Mountaineer southbound past the Wildlife marsh, near Crescent Beach north of White Rock. Photos with mountains in the background are the Lions twin peaks north of Vancouver.
