	CPR station at Kamloops, BC. The bottom floor was the station and the top floor was the bunkhouse for the crews working the Shuswap sub, west out of Revelstoke. This photo was taken in 2003. This building was built in the 1960s and is still in service today.

	This is the station at Bennett, British Columbia. Bennett, British Columbia, Canada is an abandoned town next to Bennett Lake. It was built during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897-99 at the end of the White Pass and Chilkoot Trails from nearby ports of Skagway and Dyea in Alaska. Shortly thereafter, the railway was extended to Carcross, Yukon and then up to Whitehorse, Yukon. This station has been refurbished over the years and is now used as a maintenance of way headquarters as well as a bunkhouse style food stop for the White Pass and Yukon railway passengers as they wait to meet the westbound train.

	This is the station at Carcross, YT on the White Pass & Yukon Railway. This is another station that has been upgraded to facilitate the mostly tourist operation of the WP&Y. As you can see from the map below, from Carcross, the line extends north to Whitehorse, YT.

	The headquarters and station of the White Pass & Yukon Railway in Skagway Alaska. Trains arrive and leave from the rear of the building. This railway runs only a short distance in US (Alaska) territory, so because most of its operation is in Canada, it operates under Canadian Railway rules and is under the jurisdiction of Transport Canada. The railway was originally formed to transport men, explosives and supplies to the Gold Rush, and still hauls some freight today, but mostly it's a summer month tourist oriented railway.

	The old CPR station at Revelstoke, BC, as well as the CP Hotel on the hill, which was torn down many years ago. The cars in the "South Hole", the track on the right, would be the cars for the train that used to run south of Revelstoke to Arrowhead. There it would connect with the CPR boats that plied the Arrow Lakes. This station was built in 1905 and demolished in 1978 after the construction of a newer building at the same location

	CPR Glacier Station Constructed in the same style as Lake Louise Station further east, this CPR station, served Glacier House around 1886. Glacier House was a meal stop for passengers in the Rocky Mountains where railway grades were too severe to justify the operation of dining cars (follow the tracks to the right) . Photo taken from the rear platform of the Rocky Mountaineer train on May 11, 2009. Situated about 40 miles east of Revelstoke BC in Glacier National Park at Mile 85.5 of the CPR Mountain Sub, the station ceased passenger service after Glacier House was destroyed early in the 20th Century the but it is still used by CPR Maintenance of Way crews, as the area gets about 7 feet or more of snow per year. Just east of there is the Connaught Tunnel and the famous Stoney Creek Bridge. A very nice postcard view of a train at the station and Glacier House can be seen at http://www.cardcow.com/c/65661/transportation-trains- railroad-depots/

While a bit expensive, all meals and overnight accomodation is s upplied, acccording to class purchased. Deluxe passengers on the GoldLeaf are assigned a/seat in one of the domes; with free access to the rear gallery anytime, as well as superior sit-down meals in the dining car. RedLeaf passengers sit comfortably at tree level in former CN "Daynighter" cars and enjoy meals at their seat. The train travels alternately on CN and CP track. Dozens of tunnels are encounted and freight consists are certain to be seen across the river within the Fraser Canyon, as well as many meets an adjacent track throughout the trip.

	VIA Station Nanaimo BC Built in 1920 by the CPR the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Station at 321 Selby Street to replace an earlier station. It has been in continuous operation ever since and is a classic example of the type of station erected in mid-size communities, early in the 20th century. The baggage/freight area is on the left and the passenger waiting room on the right. The stationmaster's living quarters were upstairs. VIA took the station over, circa 1979 but an arson fire seriously damaged the building in 2007. Plans were afoot to restore the station, however most of the track is now resting on rotten ties and the RDC car were taken off the island. Abandonment has been threatened several times but service is planned to be eventually resumed More at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria

	VIA Endako BC Bunkhouse and Station Endako is a tiny community located about 2 hours west of Prince George via Highway 16. It is mile 0 of the Endako subdivision and is supported by both a molybdenum mine and the CN Railway. The building in the photo is really a bunkhouse, but the platform outside the building serves as a flag station for Via Rail's Jasper-Prince Rupert Line (aka the Skeena). Although the community's small, there are three tracks by the bunkhouse/station and there's even a wye for turning trains around.
