Trainhopping The Okanagan
Travelling on the Okanagan train from Vernon to Kamloops for the second time. 22 hours through one of British Columbia’s most stunning regions on the ex Kelowna Pacific Railway.
From the quiet industrial edges of Vernon to the sweeping mountain views of the North Okanagan and along the South Thompson River. Incredible scenery, rugged landscapes, and the thrill of catching out on a moving freight.
Thanks to the homie @Richstateproductions for helping get this done.

it may have bin a slower ride but it definitley looks comfortable in that full CadillaC
I live in this area, so this was really cool to see!
😎😎😎😎
Cool to see someone riding a branch line. Thanks for sharing
Stobe the Hobo would be proud 👏
Catch it while you can. I wouldn't expect these rusty tracks to be around much longer….same for what's left of BC Rail….
Know many of those areas – This was awesome to see them via rail – THANK YOU!
I live in Lumby a few mile east of Vernon where you got on the train at Polson park. I have always wanted to ride the train from Lumby to Kamloops. Thank you for making this video.
all of this trackage is getting redone, so trackspeed will likely be a lot higher in 2026, and steam from the Kamloops Heritage Railway will be running through the Okanagan sub. Lots to look forward to!
They must have been pulling a lot of grain cars out of storage for the 2025 harvest
There’s shit that does NOT need to be posted in the internet. This video being one of them
Vernon rules
Cheapest sleeper class! Love it
CPR Police are looking for you,,,,, I will make sure this video ends in on their email in the next 2 min.
Lmao 🤣 so, train jumping which is illegal, dangerous and basically ASININE ‼️ is a thing now? Nah …we will be hearing about your carcass on the track soon I bet …Darwin awards coming up
Cool journey man
Just thought you wanted to know that this video has been sent to the CN Police, CPKC Police as well as the BC RCMP. Hope your next trespassing excursion ends in tragedy!🤣🤣🤣
I had no idea people actually did this. I thought it was just in old time stories
Great hop, my dad was a conductor on this branch for a while in the 90s, used to go all the way to Kelowna iirc.
Gnarly grade coming down into Kamloops from Monte creek, always wanted to see the path the railway took through there. Cool video, can't believe the babies in the comments though. I wouldn't suggest anyone to do this, but I am surprised people would go out of their way to report you. In the future wear a mask if you are going to post locations or aim a camera at your face. Safe Travels!
22 hours is a serious commitment to hopping. Crazy noisy too. I only heard of one person who rode the rails since the 1930s… that was a co-worker in the mid-80s. The view is epic and canon. Thank you. Stay safe.
More vids please
I hopped freights a few times back in the 80s… I'm curious why you don't "move up" to the slave engines in the middle. There's a (very) small toilet, where you can hide if security comes by, two fairly comfy chairs and they always used to leave the radios on so you could hear what the engineer was doing.
Thanks for the vid, I'll check out more of your work!
This was pretty cool to watch! Good on you for living life like it’s supposed to be lived! Stay safe and stay free!
so cool
Wait a minute, im in Okanagan rn
w algorithm pull
Looks like a cool hobby for a young fella. Im 41 now. I might do a short run for the hell of it but I don't have the sense of adventure that I used to.
Stay consistent bro sign up for your ad sense and keep going this is what the people wants to see 🔥🔥
As Shoestring would say, you got the Cadillac of grainers!
