The Whistler Train Wreck (2)

In 1956 a freight train going too fast came off the tracks just south of Whistler - they managed to salvaged 9 wagons, but 7 had be left here in the woods and have become a tourist attraction with their colourful graffiti paintings inside and outside the wreck, I had a ball taking pictures and will show you just a few ... these were wagons 6 and 7 ... it was a 4 km return walk into the woods and across a river to get to the site.

Après cette triste catastrophe c'est une très bonne idée d'en garder le souvenir en transformant ainsi les vestiges des wagons en oeuvres d'art qui s'intègrent bien dans la nature .
Compliments et amitiés

Grâce à ton excellent cadrage, les formes cabossées, colorées, pleines de graffs insolites de ce train accidenté, laissé là, près des beaux sapins verts, sont un élément inattendu transformé en oeuvre actuelle pour la curiosité des visiteurs, un spectacle étonnant! Ta définition toujours TOP permet de s'attarder sur tous les détails de la photo, compliments pour ton premier plan de branches au sol, Adele! Bises et belle journée à toi! Michèle

These remains have been lying in the woods for almost 70 years and are an attraction for local residents and tourists. Couldn't a train stop have been set up for visitors along the hopefully still existing railroad line? According to Google Maps, there are still tracks going by :-))
Best regards
Matthias

  thank you, Matthias .... there is no regular train traffic to Whistler, only a tourist train called the "Rocky Mountaineer" which does an over 200 km trip through Alberta and BC and through the Rocky Mountains with a stop in Whistler. However, the tracks are also being used by freighttrains. Traffic to Whistler goes by car or bus. The hike through the woods to the train is up and down and curvy but quite pleasant.
