Golden lies at the confluence of the Kicking Horse and Columbia rivers. The Columbia is a mighty river, forges a valley through these magnificent mountains. That valley was the path of initial european intrusion into this land, and now forms the path of the Canadian Pacific Railroad. Even in winter it is a busy arterial route for long haul freight. I heard this one behind me as I returned towards town from the river junction. It is crossing the the flat steel bridge over the Kicking Horse River. I saw some with up to five locomotives in front and one behind!
