Tips

Caro "Bandit"

January 26, 2022

The year is 1956, and a Pacific Great Eastern Railway train, heavily loaded with lumber, is making its way south from the small mountain town of Lillooet. However, a steep incline causes problems for the vehicle. It is decided to split the overloaded train: each now separate trains with two engines each. This throws the already tight schedule into disarray, so the train driver ignores the speed limit of a section still under construction and races into it at 56 km/h instead of the permitted 24.

One of the engines causes the train to derail. In the end, twelve destroyed wagons with logs lie between trees and rocks. It is actually not the actual place where the accident happened more than 60 years ago. Some of the wagons could be recovered, the most damaged ones were placed here.

Over the years, the "Train Wrecks" near Whistler have become a popular destination for graffiti artists, filmmakers, mountain bikers and hikers.

This is a nice target for families with small kids. The walking distance is short and a suspension bridge combined with a train wreck in the woods can get them moving. The wrecked cars look stable enough, the smaller the kids, the more help they will need climbing them.
