Canadian National 6015 - PIP: Güterzug-Lok The tank and tender locomotive versions of the 4-8-2 Mountain wheel arrangement both originated in the Colony of Natal in South Africa. In 1888, the Natal Government Railways (NGR) placed the first five of its eventual one hundred Class D 4-8-2 tank locomotives in service. The locomotive was designed by William Milne, the locomotive superintendent of the NGR from 1877 to 1896, and was built by Dübs and Company. This was the first known use of the 4-8-2 wheel arrangement in the world. NGR Class B Im PiP: 2 Loks (von 3) eines Güterzugs, der von Vancouver in den Osten Kanadas unterwegs war. Nach 175 Waggons haben wir aufgehört zu zählen.

Lillooet Lake ist ein See in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia. Der See liegt in den südlichen Coast Mountains, etwa 120 km nordnordöstlich von Vancouver. Er wird vom Lillooet River in südlicher Richtung durchflossen. Ein weiterer Zufluss an seinem nördlichen Ende ist der Birkenhead River. 12 km nördlich des Sees befindet sich der Ort Pemberton. Der See hat eine Länge von 25 km und eine Wasserfläche von 33,5 km². Wenige Kilometer südlich des Sees befindet sich der Little Lillooet Lake, der ebenfalls vom Lillooet River durchflossen wird. Lillooet Lake is a lake in British Columbia, Canada about 25 km in length and about 33.5 square kilometres (22 mi²) in area. It is about 95 km downstream from the source of the Lillooet River, which resumes its course after leaving Little Lillooet Lake, aka Tenas Lake (tenass in the Chinook Jargon means little). Immediately adjacent to the mouth of the upper Lillooet River is the mouth of the Birkenhead River and just upstream along the Lillooet is the confluence of the Green River, which begins at Green Lake in the resort area of Whistler. The community of Pemberton is about 12 km upstream from the head of Lillooet Lake, while the eastern edge of the Mount Currie Indian Reserve of the Lil'wat branch of the St'at'imc people is the lakeshore itself. The eastern ramparts of the mountain ranges of Garibaldi Provincial Park overlook Lillooet Lake from the west, while to the east are the northern reaches of the Lillooet Ranges which lie between the Lillooet-Harrison drainage and the Fraser River. Lillooet Lake was part of the "Lakes Route" or Douglas Road, once if only briefly the principal route between the Coast and the Interior during the days of the Fraser Canyon Gold Rush. Several steamers and innumerable smaller watercraft served the busy freight and passenger traffic in those days. The best-known and largest of these was the SS Prince of Wales, whose wreckage was visible on the shores of the lake near Mount Currie for many years.

PIP: Hier haben wir die Nacht verbacht. Der Mount Robson, 3954 m hoch, dem höchsten Berg der kanadischen Rocky Mountains im letzten Tageslicht. Unterhalb dieses gewaltigen Berges haben wir die Nacht verbracht. Mount Robson is the most prominent mountain in North America's Rocky Mountain range; it is also the highest point in the Canadian Rockies. The mountain is located entirely within Mount Robson Provincial Park of British Columbia, and is part of the Rainbow Range. Mount Robson is the second highest peak entirely in British Columbia, behind Mount Waddington in the Coast Range. The south face of Mount Robson is clearly visible from the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16), and is one of the most photographed features along this route. Mount Robson was likely named after Colin Robertson, who worked for both the North West Company and the Hudson’s Bay Company at various times in the early 19th century, though there was confusion over the name as many assumed it to have been named for John Robson, an early premier of British Columbia. The Texqakallt, a Secwepemc people and the earliest inhabitants of the area, call it Yuh-hai-has-kun, The Mountain of the Spiral Road. Other unofficial names include Cloud Cap Mountain. Q:Wikipedia
