Re: VIA 79 and 70.

Shot this one at Snake on Saturday - it was smoking badly and throwing oil. 
Wonder how long until the turbo blows.

Passengers back on track

UPDATED: 2006-05-29 16:39:08 MST

Passengers of derailed Rocky Mountaineer to be offered compensation for 
their inconvenience

By BILL LAYE, CALGARY SUN

Passengers from a luxury train derailed in the Rockies were back on track 
today and will be offered compensation for their inconvenience, says a 
company official.

No one was hurt when six cars on the Rocky Mountaineer jumped the tracks in 
B.C. between Golden and Revelstoke about noon Sunday - and the 563 
passengers and crew aboard were quickly bussed to Kamloops, said Graham 
Gilley of Vancouver-based Rocky Mountaineer Vacations.

After spending the night, half of those got on another train to Vancouver 
while the others were bussed the rest of the way.

The scenic two-day Calgary-Westcoast train trips range in price from $650 to 
$1,400 and Gilley said some sort of a refund or alternate travel will be 
offered, depending on each passenger's individual situation.

"We built our business one customer at a time and we will certainly treat 
them fairly," Gilley said, adding many who take the trip are from overseas.

"We've had cases where there was maybe a slide in front of the train or some 
track-work being done and we've always taken care of our guests to their 
satisfaction."

I'm glad that no one was hurt. However, I'm having trouble working up any  
sympathy for Rocky Mountaineer.

Re: Chaleur trip report

Thanks Tom for your trip report. I was happy to read that some track 
work is still being done. I have always worried about this train's and 
route's survival.
