Rocky Mountaineer 2

Leaving Vancouver we passed this 5 billion dollar 8 lane suspension bridge. Amazing structure.
At times we had to stop to let enormous freight trains through. At least 12.
They all had between 200 to 300 carriages.  Two engines in front, sometimes one in the middle and one at the end.
Of course Frances had to have a picture with the mounted police. The one on the left had recently visited NZ. His son in law lived in Auckland for 8 years working for Fontera. I got the impression he was employed in some trouble shooting, efficieny role.
