Watching the Freight Cars of British Columbia Railway While Growing Up

For years growing up, as I watched lumber trains heading through Davis, I would see British Columbia Railway box cars and lumber cars.  British Columbia Railway and the many lumber companies it served throughout British Columbia always caught my eye.
As a teenager, I made my first trip to Seattle to watch Burlington Northern.  There, I watched BN trains headed south from British Columbia, laden with lumber, heavy with British Columbia box cars and center beams.  Immediately, I fell in love with watching trains in Seattle.
To this day, when I see the old BC Rail logo, it brings back fond memories of growing up and the first railfanning I did.  British Columbia Railway truly was a great railroad.
