Whistler Train Wreck
Seven freight cars that derailed in 1956 lie scattered through the forest, covered in graffiti as outdoor art. The trail crosses a suspension bridge and a river valley.
A freight train derailed here in 1956, and the cars were dragged into the forest and abandoned. Later they became a gathering spot for graffiti artists and mountain bikers. From the Jane Lakes Road parking lot near Function Junction, follow a gentle forest trail for about 1.5 km and cross a suspension bridge over the Cheakamus River. The round trip takes about 1 hour. It is free and suitable for children. Do not climb on the cars, and stay away from the riverbank, as the water runs fast.
