Hi Dougs, If VIA cancelled then I assume this would be because?of?the fire south of Lytton, the Kookipi Creek fire as the Canadian is on the CN line.? This fire is on both sides of the river and would impact both rail lines. Near Chase the CP line runs through the East Adams Lake Fire?for about 1 km, above Squilax.? As far as I know the trains are still running.? Even Hwy 1 can be travelled on, but they have closed it to only emergency personnel and evacuees.? Luckily there is a detour through Vernon and Falkland on Hwy 97.? I expect VIA is being more cautious with it's passengers than CP and CN are with their freight.
