Hello all
I'm a great admirer of the Rocky Mountaineer and muchose enjoyed my
trip on it. But the video they sell on board is something else for
geographic continuity! Nothing outside quantum physics can explain how
the train can change directions so frequently and appear at random in
so many parts of BC while making its "eastbound" trip under the
continuous narration! :-)
(Well it IS a DREAM trip after all ... )

Recently, I picked up the Rocky Mountaineer 2000 tour catalogue.
The cover features train 102 (eastbound Kamloops-Calgary tour
train) crossing Stoney Creek bridge, as photogaphed from the
northeast side.
This is a familiar Nicolas Morant angle which I have scrambled
up to and taken photos myself.
This publicity shot features a snow covered peak where no such
peak exists ! . Oh , the wonders of digital enhancement.
All of a sudden, the Beaver Valley has acquired a new headwall.
In the brochure, you are invited to visit on the web at ;
www.rockymountaineer.com and the web page includes "train talk"
where you can ask train questions of an expert. I plan to ask him
the name of the magnificent peak in the background of the cover
picture on the 2000 tour brochure.
