Here's my look at a trip through the spiral tunnels on the CP Laggan Subdivision, in Yoho National Park:
This is an eastbound trip through the tunnels, in Rocky Mountaineer SilverLeaf service, on September 19, 2018.

Low Light Mike thank you so much for sharing your incredible journey. I have looked at all your posts, several many times over. Several friends too have been following the trip. I know this is a maritime board, but thankfully we have a rail section. Ships are my primary focus as that is the industry I am in, but rail is awesome too. Again, thanks for taking us along with you!

Again, thanks for taking us along with you! Thanks, good sir. I had lots of fun doing various levels of detail in my video edits. There are some videos that I haven't posted about in this here forum, but they're on my YouTube channel (these are some of the fine detailed items that I've uploaded to YouTube in the past 2 weeks or so). I've got 40 videos on my Rocky Mountaineer playlist. I'm surprised that it's that many. I think I've enhanced the YouTube library of Rocky Mountaineer videos, LOL. HERECheers!

I love the evening-light view of Mount Rundle.

With Castle Mountain in the background, CP 8027 leads an eastbound intermodal train downgrade towards Banff, at Mile 100 CP Laggan Subdivision. August 8, 2019 CP 8027 - Castle Mountain by Michael, on Flickr I stayed at the cabins that are in the right background of the photo. When we heard a train coming at night as we were trying to sleep, the proximity of the sound made it seem like the train was going to come crashing through our cabin wall. After a night, we got used to it. But the train sounds are the biggest complaint on TripAdvisor for Castle Mountain Chalets. The resort is quick to explain that the railways brought tourism to the Bow Valley, so the trains are an integral part of the area's history. Great photo, good sir.

An eastbound train of empty coal gondolas is seen here being pulled by a very enthusiastic engineer, who was excited to point out his then fresh-out-of-refurbishment 7000-series SD-90 in tow behind the lead locomotive. This scene is on a grey fall day in Revelstoke, next to the train museum, looking northwest. Some who view the Virtual Railfan live YouTube stream of that same crossing may recognize this location (though this photo was taken across the street from the webcam).

I check it out a few times a week, accessing the web cams via "virtual railfan". According to some rail fans there is typically about 25-30 trains a day passing by. Eastbounds usually block the crossing, as the head end crew changes.
