Hello I am going to use your videos in my video please don’t criticize me i’m just trying something new if it fails…it fails.

Hot diggity!!

Fantastic Chris! Wow.

How in the world is 100 logging trucks ment to be more efficient than this

Good record, thanks. But... aren't there 3 cars for the southward run to Duncan (3:56), 5 cars back north? Was looking forward to the switching at Top Shelf itself. Ah well. (Better camera since your 2010 vid, eh)

What ever happened to the red baggage car?

The depressing end of an era on Vancouver Island. You can hardly tell the tracks in this video were once the final link in CP's transcontinental mainline. And today there's almost nothing left. Freight service gone almost 9 years, passenger for 15... Only the rail ferry and a very small stretch of urban road between Nanaimo and Nanoose remains active and even that could come to an end any day. The communities of the island seem totally disinterested in returning service to the line even as a tourist attraction, and as of last week I discovered here in Duncan the rails are finally being removed north of Drinkwater. I don't know why I only just now got recommended this video, but its an incredible documentation of E&N's final year, and for me personally, it's look back into my childhood to see the railway I grew up with one last time before its gone forever, so thank you.

What’s that car on the end of the train? A bathroom?

What's the tragic accident??

Such an elegantly efficient way of moving huge volumes of logs without clogging up roads. Pity WFP didn't see it that way, RIP Englewood Railway, you'll be missed.

Do you live in Nanaimo? you should upload more on this channel.

Oh, the earliest time i saw one was at 10:45AM at Albert street. and the latest time i saw one was at 6:22PM on Monday at Albert Street.

Chris City what time do you see the trains here in Nanaimo?

How often do you go up to Nanaimo to take pictures of trains? can you take videos too? what time and days to the trains run in Nanaimo? do they ever run on the weekends?

Do they still have mixed freights on the island? i have just seen oil tankers.

ok thx

oh ok can you record more trains in nanaimo?

Cool! do they still run up to the Duncan Feed Mill?

it's Nanaimo at Jingle Pot Road Crossing

nice

Amazing action!!

Nice video

Sadly, that rumor is correct. After 100 years of operation, the Englewood train has ceased operation. Logging is now done by truck. This video seems to have been taken one month before the accident.

Cool video. Sad to know that I will never be able to witness the Englewood Railroad for all that it was.

Any word on the future of the railway ? For some reason I've been seeing rumours that it's not going to operate any more following that tragic accident earlier this year .

Terrible news about the fatalities and injuries. I saw your RUclips video on the CBC news.

Nice sequence. The wood is getting smaller every year. The train enters terrain behind the camera resembling a Vee. It might be a cut. The Wood and English railway passed over the Vee c. 1935, maybe on a bridge. The Nimpkish main snakes and climbs towards the cove. Where is levels off, the road follows the W&E right of way into Camp 9. In "Spilsbury's Coast" , the author describes a speeder ride along that line.

Awesome video Chris!!! thanks for posting

During a week in mid-June 2014, I photographed the 128 and 110 at Wellcox Yard on 2 different occasions but it is the first time that I've seen the locos in action. The operation pales with whatever I am used to on the mainline in Calgary, with CP trains having 3 locomotives at the head end or two at the head end, one in the middle and a pusher and taking about 5 minutes, to go by a given point at speed, with 150 or more cars. Thank you for some nice steady shots and great angles. I'll be sure to look at more of your good stuff. And here's from a guy who's been shooting trains steady, since 1964..

Awesome videos! I think I've watched every video you have on here..

Hello, saw your pictures on Flickr while railfan web surfing, Many many amazing shots! Can I pick your brain,, I don't see rail link hauling very much. Is SeaSpan's truck ferry's undermining rail link's business? I did a google look up and down the rail line and except for a few sidings, It seems all the locations for goods to be dropped off have been removed. Its like Via tailored the track for themselves and cut out all the other purposes for the rail in the first place. I don't even see rail link hauling recycling. That's a no brainer money maker in itself? I know the track needs repair but do you know the condition of the bridges and trestles? One steel bridge is over 100 years old, what shape can it be in? Since Rail America took over from CP, who has been doing track maintenance since then? Thanks in advance!

negotiations have been going on for what seems like forever, deadlines come and go with no resolution. If VIA doesn't come back then the railway will be abandoned. Hopefully it'll work out but it remains to be seen.

you did it!

thanks!

Thanks! I'm not sure about average speed but it seems to vary between 10-25mph? They are still waiting on VIA to commit to returning which would trigger the funding for track repair. Not sure about the 2 RDC's that were here, I think one was scrapped, but there are 3 refurbished RDC's for the E&N if VIA comes back. Don't mind the questions at all!

A great video and fantastic locations,Thanks for sharing.

Excellent, lots of great shots with the trick edit,Big thumbs up.

great work!

Look forward to seeing your video! Hoping we can get the VIA dayliner back to the island soon

Listen to those EMD'S kinda like music, that's a heck of a nice line over there, we rode the VIA rail Duncan to Victoria it was fantastic, in fact i think we will upload that one soon, Thanks for sharing your videos,cheers.

Is a little weird that there is 2 railroad crossings on the same street.

@jarrod989 they were slowing down to 5 mph for the bridges but were normal speed for everything else

@Kvr3005 I think because there are blind approaches on both sides of the crossing

At minute 1:02 how come there are crossing signals on the left and right hand side of the road??

isn't that a little fast considering the state of the rail and ties on the island, i thought SVI said they where restricted to 5 mph

LOVE THE HORN!

@vicguy12 doubtfull they will, the enclosed compound in Parksville keeps the vandals away better than out in the open in the yard in Victoria.

@gumball469 They're both Washington Corp owned railroads.

@enr3870 oops! got it, thanks!

Nice video, btw it's Courtenay, not Courtney.
