Canada's beautiful nature and machinery on this video. Beau travail ! Likewise, driving or riding through a long or successif tunnels on a train is a pleasure, especially on the European Alpes mountainous countries. Tyson's CP and CN heavy freight train videos therapy to survive very hot night temperature in Europe. I appreciate your efforts to share these videos.

Great video TT, I love that mountain, it’s amazing….

Super video showing the two tunnels. U get anything of the Connaught Tunnel? The WB leaving the Mt. Mac tunnel shows that the hogger has his train under control at Ross Peak for the downhill run to Revelstoke.(aka Revy or Reveltoke). LOL!

Never did get that tunnel and there were many locations I did not get a chance to see for other reasons. Thanks John 🙏

10:10 mark: Interesting that the avalanche shed sign is "McDonald" whereas the 1961 plaque is for a Mr. MacDonald. Someone maybe wasn't paying attention to detail when creating the shed sign. But I also like the coincidence of both the railway tunnel and the highway snow-shed each being named for a person named MacDonald, from two different centuries. Well, I take some license in saying that, because of course the tunnel is named for a mountain, but the mountain is named for John A. MacDonald. Tyson: Thanks again for your work, especially the Mt. Shaughnessy tunnel part.

Another ripper Tyson! I assume they have ventilation on that tunnel? I was hoping for some serious "black fog" from the locos! I went through the Spiral Tunnels on Kicking Horse, on the Rocky M back in 2015 and that was pretty cool...incredible scenery you have up there! Cheers Gregg.

Hey Gregg, there are fans located on the other side of this 14 kilometre tunnel and a door that opens and closes which is located at Bear Creek on the CP mountain subdivision. Thanks for the great comment I appreciate it 🙏

Those engines coming out of the tunnel seemed to be just this side of Adhesion. A steep stretch could be the difference between moving forward or sliding backwards!

No adhesion problems with the Mount McDonald tunnel. That is why it was built for the heavy west bound unit trains like coal, potash and grain. Prior to it being built they had to climb up to the 5 mile Connaught tunnel using 6 SD40-2’s as pushers stationed at the Rogers pusher station.

Loved the scenery shots - they helped put the struggle of the railways and highways through the mountains into visual context.
