!['The Rocky Mountaineer' leaving Lillooet in British Columbia for Jasper in September 2007. <br><br>[John Robin 04/09/2007]](/images/32000/32753.jpg "Lillooet")
![A well kept Canadian secret that I happened upon by chance. This is the Kaoham Shuttle that runs one return trip a day for local people on the scenic line from tiny Seton to not much bigger Lillooet. The train is a privately operated twin-car DMU but it runs in CN colours on CN tracks and is seen here on layover prior to returning to Seton in the afternoon.<br><br>[Malcolm Chattwood 23/05/2013]](/images/43000/43454.jpg "Lillooet")
![Lillooet, British Columbia - a very rare example of a Canadian rural passenger service. This curious DMU operated by CN for the BC Government operates a daily service known as the Kaoham Shuttle along the shores of Seton Lake, connecting First Nations settlements around Seton Portage with the small town of Lillooet, taking about an hour to complete its scenic run.<br><br>[Mark Wringe 17/08/2013]](/images/56000/56366.jpg "Lillooet")
![As far as the eye can see - a westbound (towards Vancouver) Canadian National freight on Canadian National tracks south of Lytton shortly before swapping riverbanks with the Canadian Pacific track.<br><br>[Mark Wringe 17/08/2013]](/images/56000/56425.jpg "Fraser River Canyon, BC")
![Canadian National GE ES44AC diesel 2850 provides distributed power in the middle of a heavy westbound coal train passing through Jasper, Western Alberta, in June 2014. Gradients around Jasper can be as steep as 1:40 and the clever technology that allows distributed power greatly assists the efficient movement of freight through the mountains.<br><br>[Malcolm Chattwood 12/06/2014]](/images/47000/47788.jpg "Jasper")
![Considering the extreme winter weather around Jasper, and the fact that it has been on open display near the station since 1972, Canadian National U1 4-8-2 No.6015 looks in pretty fair condition in June 2014. <br><br>[Malcolm Chattwood 12/06/2014]](/images/47000/47864.jpg "Jasper")
![<I>Via Rail Canada</I> branded F40 PH-2 loco No.6420, and some considerably lower coaching stock, stabled in a siding at Jasper station on 12th June 2014. <br><br>[Malcolm Chattwood 12/06/2014]](/images/47000/47950.jpg "Jasper")
![It is often the case in North America that some of the most historic architecture is associated with railway stations. The Canadian National Railway station in Jasper, Alberta is no exception. It was built in 1925, is well preserved and arguably the most attractive building in the town. In addition to serving Via Rail's passenger trains along with those of the Rocky Mountaineer it also acts as a transport hub with Greyhound buses, rental cars and bicycle hire all using the facilities.<br><br>[Malcolm Chattwood 12/06/2014]](/images/48000/48059.jpg "Jasper")
![Canadian Nation Railway General Electric GE C44-9W Nos 2559 & 2517 will undoubtedly have needed all their combined 8,800 horsepower to haul this heavy mixed freight up from the plains of Alberta as they head through Jasper further into the Rockies and towards the west coast.<br><br>[Malcolm Chattwood 12/06/2014]](/images/48000/48311.jpg "Jasper")
