A westbound Canadian Pacific coal train emerges from the Mount Macdonald Tunnel over Rogers Pass, British Columbia, on a beautiful September 25, 2012 afternoon. The longest railroad tunnel in the western hemisphere at 14.6 kilometers, or just over 9 miles (9.1), the tunnel provides westbound CP trains crossing formidable Rogers Pass a lower-elevation crossing of the Selkirk Mountains. The sensation of listening to a train climbing through the tunnel for over twenty minutes is a acoustic treat, and with CP providing an almost new ES44AC No. 9353 pulling the train, the shiny red beacon amongst the incredible Canadian Rockies becomes a sensuous delight.
