CPKC Laggan Sub - Busy day in the Rocky Mountains - CPKC Scheme 4805, KCS leading and Business Train

On October 30, 2024 I found myself in the Rocky Mountains for what would turn out to be a very successful day trackside on CPKC's Laggan Sub. After missing a few trains at sunrise, we'll see CPKC hotshot 100-29 at Banff West with a KCS leader before the sun could rise above the mountains. With a few trains to the west of me, I drove through Banff National Park and across the Great Divide to catch a pair of westbounds at Ottertail, where 112 was to meet 3 westbounds. After catching 112, I headed back towards Banff to catch the next fleet of westbounds which was led by a KCSM unit. While driving up the Big Hill, I pulled over at Cathedral just as CPKC 113 was descending the pass. Set up at Banff, we'll see three westbound grain trains, along with the main target for the day; CPKC 21B-29, the Royal Canadian Pacific. After being recrewed at Canmore, 21B took the siding at Banff to meet 112-29, before heading west to Lake Louise to pick up their passengers. We'll see the train at Castle Mountain and Lake Louise, before settling in at Morant's Curve for 3 eastbound trains, one of which has a CN 100 unit leading. Unfortunately due to the high volume of traffic on the CPKC Transcon, 21B-30 would come by just after the sun dropped behind the mountains - however they put on quite the show! We'll end the video at Banff, where 21B was running around their train to make the quick trip back to Lake Louise to drop off their passengers. From my hotel room in Canmore, I saw the business train heading back to Calgary around 0130. 0:00 CPKC 100-29 at Banff West 1:58 CPKC 101-26 at Ottertail 5:01 CPKC 105-26 at Ottertail 7:27 CPKC 112-29 at Ottertail 10:49 CPKC 113-26 at Cathedral 14:33 CPKC 303-672 at Banff West 17:05 CPKC 301-402 at Banff West 21:21 CPKC 301-499 at Banff West 24:30 CPKC 21B-29 arriving Banff 26:32 CPKC 112-29 meeting 21B-30 at Banff 28:45 CPKC 21B-29 departing Banff 30:12 CPKC 21B-29 at Castle Mountain 30:43 CPKC 21B-29 arriving Lake Louise 32:00 CPKC 21B-29 crossing the Pipestone River at Lake Louise 33:41 CPKC 308-496 at Morant's Curve 37:00 CPKC 302-244 at Morant's Curve 40:48 CPKC 602-287 at Morant's Curve 43:36 CPKC 21B-29 at Morant’s Curve 44:41 CPKC 21B-29 running around at Banff 45:46 CPKC 21B-29 shoving back to their train at Banff
