Thompson Canyon - CN Train 417 near Lytton, BC (June 9, 2016)

Railfanning Lytton Area video 2 of 5
Canadian National Railway locomotives 2617 (C44-9W), and 5774 (EMD SD75I) power a long CN manifest train A417 (Edmonton Cloverbar, AB to Vancouver Thornton, BC) westbound through the Thompson Canyon near Lytton, BC hauling over 100 cars of mixed freight.
Great location, but you won't see any eastbounds here as CN and CP use directional running meaning only westbound trains only can be viewed at this location.
