Thank you, all, for the great comments. I appreciate each and every one of you. In a way, when we’re out there filming, it is just like you’re there with us, so I’m glad the videos provide that feeling. I also want to express just how valuable Kent and Charlie were to the creation of this episode (and the episodes to come.) What you see came together because of their vision. We’ll keep striving for five stars all around. Onward!
Great video, Drew! But I’d like to see the train clips extended a few seconds more. After all, that’s what it’s all about, the TRAINS, not the airplane or the guys. Keep it up!
Glad you enjoyed the video, Greg! Also really pleased to see your five star rating…Thanks! We should be able to give you a bit more train reel in Drew’s next Thompson River Trek, but we’re definitely all about capturing Drew’s entire (trains, travel, troubles, and triumphs) unique railfanning experiences in DTAdventures episodes, not just typical YouTube runbys!

Wish I could’ve tagged along. Cool video even the parts where you show the people you’re out with, the price comparison of a bag of chips from the airport to Costco and stuff other than trains. The Boeing clip and planes were cool too
Great video as usual! The Fraser River area is spectacular, and even more so from the vantage points you guys chose. Was also nice to see where those plane fuselage loads finally end up!
Thank You Drew and Kent whata wonderful adventure you brought us. You both have been blest with a great job to show off your talents. Keep up the great work. Us disabled veterarans can only go to these places because of you. Again thank you so much - Lee Schamberger USN (ret)

Hey Drew, Great Video and Beautiful Scenery and Great Trains. Have you ever considered doing a Trackside Adventures Video in the Beautiful Scenic Columbia River Gorge(Oregon and Washington Border)? If you already have, please tell me which Episode it is.
It was nice to see shots of the Boeing Renton plant. I use to work there and a couple times a week they would be spotting cars/fuselages into the plant as I walked right by on my way home. Usually it was the two GP40-2’s doing the work but I also saw a GP30 being used (rebuilt I expect).
Drew + KJ this may be one of the best DTSA’s produced so far, you really have taken us inside the adventure, form someone that is never likely to get to these Wow locations, thanks for taking us along.
Stunning view’s , from what can only be described as a location that has every element a railroad modeller could want, rock cut tunnels onto bridges along side a river canyon it doesn’t get much better than that.
The CP is a road name that I hadn’t considered collecting any models from until I watched this. I can see a few Shiny Red CP units being added to my collection in the near future.
Can’t wait for the next instalment.
To the people that didn’t like the stuff other than the trains.
The title of this segment says it all Drew’s Track Side Adventures. It’s not just about the trains it’s about the “Adventure” of getting to see the trains. To the team don’t change a thing with this segment of MRVP.
If you want to do anything too keep the train buffs happy suggest to David Popp a new segment that’s just has the clips of the trains passing that will bump the MRVP monthly content up and won’t be too big an edit for Jenny to select the best couple of passes and overlay some music.
Thanks again for a great episode

Sorry Sorry, Drew and the MRVP team forgot to rate the stars on my post I go 5 of 5

Another great video and awesome photos. What kind of lenses are you using Drew? That big one should allow you to see into the future!
Another excellent video! Can’t wait for the next edition. I live in Central Washington State and have had the privilege of driving the Trans Canada Highway 1 from coast-to-coast. This video shows the most scenic part of the highway which parallels the tracks. Thank you for giving us the bird’s-eye view!
Once again, Super Duper! When are you coming south and do the NS, CSX, and Ga. Central movements in Atlanta area?
Drew & his crew do another outstanding job on this video in the great NW area. It’s one of the primary reasons I DO keep my subscription updated. Thanks so much. Paul from Dothan, AL. ROLL TIDE !!!
That was really great fellows. I drive that stretch every few years and you are right that there are some fantastic spots to get photos and videos. Also, the Thompson River stretch has some great spot to get photos and video.
Another fantastic video! Well worth the cost of admission. But I can’t believe you didn’t get any shots of the Quintet Tunnels just outside Hope. No trains there anymore but well worth the adventure. You also could have mentioned that way back in 1969, one of the early Boeing 737"s did flight testing for unimproved runways at that same Hope airstrip that you guys fleww from. Totally Awesome!
Ted,
Drew, Kent and I marveled at the photos in the airport terminal building of the 737 being tested on the grass runway at Hope. Takeoff must have been spectacular with the old school, ear-splitting, smoke-belching JT8D engines blowing dust, gravel and grass clippings everywhere! Thanks for the heads up on the Quintet Tunnels. My family and I will be back in Hope this summer to fly gliders with the Vancouver Soaring Association, so I’ll make it a point to check them out.
Charlie
Lost for words…but a least I know where I will be going and adding to my bucket list… Can’t wait… Thanks for another great one…!!

Jonathan Wilson, General Manager of the Renton Municipal Airport just passed on a link to Boeing Company video taken a few hours ago of the first experimental test flight of Boeing’s newest airliner, the 737 MAX. The prototype (christened Spirit of Renton) took off from Renton under stormy skies and landed two hours later at King County International Airport (Boeing Field) near Seattle. Boeing has 3,400 orders for the MAX - ensuring that those emerald green fuselages will be rolling through Lombard Canyon on the MRL for years to come.

Jim Rohrbach, that big lumber is Canon’s new 100-400mm. Great for reaching out and grabbing a train from long distances! Otherwise I use the 10-22mm for wide shots and an assortment of mid-range glass for everything in between.
