Are Canadian Pacific and Canadian National still sharing rail tracks in the Fraser Canyon, west bound on CN's line, eastbound on CP's? How are things working out? Are the crossover points at Kamloops and Mission?

No answers?  I am not sure of the eastern crossover point, but I am pretty sure it isn't Kamloops.  Nearer to Ashcroft for at least the CN, and the other point west, AFAIK, is Cisco, west of Lytton, near Boston Bar.

And yes, I suspect they'll use the sharing arrangement until they blend into one corporation.

(...oops....did I say that....?)

Crandel, you were very close. According to the 2007 edition of Canadian Trackside guide, the eastbound crossover point is at Basque, mp 57.47 on CN's Ashcroft sub, and mp 55.9 on CP's Thompson sub.

I have found the two (1997 and 2007) editions that I have quite helpful in determining mile posts on the passenger lines in Canada. However, there is no real information on the miles between the east line and the west line at Edmonton.
