 |  | Production of Canadian Maple Leaf Tracks, this route is in British Columbia by unrolling its tracks on approximately 130 miles. |
 |  | The departure is done in Revelstoke, one crosses continuation Columbia River then it is the rise towards the eagle pass and his forest of conifers. One carries on then his way along the lake Shuswap which gives its name to the route. MLT explains us why this term is a typically American contraction of "shimmering waters ",. The walk continues along South Thompson River, before reaching the final goal, Kamloops |
 |  | Maple Leaf Tracks became Master in the construction of these Canadian routes of which it was made a speciality. Shuswap can be regarded besides as the continuation of Rogers Pass which stop where this one starts |
 |  | As much to say which one keeps the decorations to which us accustomed MLT although the author, Jim Stotesbury, produces his first work here, placed well to accurately retransmit the atmosphere of this area since it live there. One will be able to thus expect no surprise, it is beautiful work, the forest is restored perfectly, control in winter takes even sometimes a feeric tower with a set of shades and lights completely attractive. |
 |  | Signaling is the particular care object, in particular by holding account of the single track and the need for crossing other trains on the rare portions arranged into double tracks. There few halts on this way dedicated above all to freight, one take a large puff of nature even if, here or there, there are some industrial buildings . |
 |  | The rolling stockis not very abundant, it acts of large Diesel locos making it possible to draw from the trains an interminable length, the such SD40, GP35, GP9, FP7A/B (very beautiful) and, of course, much of coaches of freight. |
 |  | Few activities are present, ten in all, but at the same time largely sufficient and nevertheless significant of possibilities limited on such a line at the same time by his character of single track and the restriction on the traffic of freight, this with dimensions-there, one remains a little on his hunger with a small feeling of already considering. That MLT launches out in the realization of urban or suburban routes with stations and traffic, this would be now liked before a certain lassitude is felt.... |
| | | The route is in direct downloading on the site once regulated the 24.22 euros, VAT included. |
