QUOTE: Originally posted by M636C Dave, BC Rail stopped its passenger service before the sale to CN. They had been running Budd RDCs from Vancouver to Lillooet (I think). There is now a reduced service run in very small four wheel railcars to isolated communities on the line at the North end of the isolated section, south of Lillooet. There was a luxury tourist train run on the BCR for a short while, but it too closed before the sale. It was called the "Whistler Northwind " (or something like that). BC Rail also ran the "Royal Hudson" tourist train for several years, with the ex CPR 4-6-4 2860, and also with an ex CPR 2-8-0 3716. This used cars painted in CPR red. Peter Thanks Peter. [:)] The four wheel railcars sound similar to the ones used in the UK years ago [?] - I think Class 126??? (Were available in HO from Hornby...)
