Prince Rupert Rail Images

This site was started so I could share my collection of railway images I have been taking for the past few years. All photos are my own work unless otherwise noted. From time to time I travel and try to take photos in different locations. I will post mostly images shot in Prince Rupert but not limited to here.

Derailment on the mainline

CN rail had a small derailment today between the downtown rail yard and J.S.McMillian fisheries plant. Half a dozen twin stack car went on the ground when the rail apparently laid over. A various assortment of equipment was brought in to help with the clean up. Cranes, excavators, loaders, container trucks and trailers were just some of the machinery at the site.
