Trains At Notch Hill Horseshoe Curve In BC

Built in 1981, this 2 km Horseshoe curve improves the grade for trains heading west. Trains heading east still use the original track a couple kilometers away.

    Being from the US we have some spectavular country but Canada seems unspoiled. Dont let big industry ruun it.

    There's obviously a purpose for this big loop. What is it. Very good video.

    Thanks! It’s used for westbound to cut the grade. I guess it was very steep grade before.

    The track around the tunnel looks like it will flood easily.

    THe snow was melting quickly and didn't seem to have any flooding on this day.

    This is a horseshoe curve, not a loop.
