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.

The Train Wreck Trail starts at Whistler Quarry Road and leads you into the woods around the Cheakamus River. We visited the colorful wrecks, which are a tourist magnet in the region around Whistler. It is quite surreal to see this force of destruction in the middle of nature. For those who may wonder why the trees all around are so big: This is actually not the actual site where the accident happened over 60 years ago. Some of the wagons could be recovered, the most damaged ones were placed here.
