NNG: Grizzly on CPR mainline
| May 28, 2010 09:35PM |
Bears are sometimes a problem up here. My wife and I caught this gorgeous fellow on the CP last weekend. A train was coming and he ambled off the tracks as it approached. Westbounds only do about 8 mph here as it is just above the "Big Hill" down through the spiral tunnels to Field, BC. Sadly, a grizzly (hopefully not the same one) was hit and killed by a train a couple days ago.
