The Kaoham Shuttle[1] is a diesel multiple unit (DMU) passenger service on CN's Squamish Subdivision near Lillooet, operating as a partnership between the railway and the Seton Lake Indian Band, whose communities it serves.[2] The train was started by BC Rail after the end of its passenger service in 2002 between North Vancouver and Prince George via Squamish, Lillooet, Williams Lake, and Quesnel. The train runs daily between Lillooet and Seton Portage.[3] After BC Rail was sold to CN the Kaoham Shuttle kept BC Rail logos but was recently[when?] painted in CN colours. Currently this is the only train that operates between Lillooet and Seton Portage (trips to D'Arcy are no longer available).[4] The Rocky Mountaineer does pass through the area but does not stop until Quesnel. According to a report in the BBC, the Kaoham Shuttle is "Canada's greatest hidden rail trip". In 2014 only costs $10 Canadian dollars for a two-hour return trip.[5]
