Photos of BC Rail's now discontinued
Cariboo Prospector passenger service between North Vancouver and Lilooet.
For nearly fifty years, this was a mainstay of the Budd RDCs,
operating daily from North Vancouver, along the Howe Sound, through
Whistler, and up to Lilooet in the magnificent Fraser River Canyon.
On this wet April morning in 2002, BC-31 and BC-15 were being prepared
for departure from North Vancouver station. On this day, the service
was effectively a return working to Lilooet, with no Northbound or
Southbound connections to/from Prince George. Over the winter of 2001/2,
the service to Prince George was reduced to twice-weekly. The third
weekly service to Prince George was restored for the final summer.
Photos of the same two units operating in Sept 2002 out of Prince George
on one of the final services can be found here.
