There is a 6 car Montana Rail Link lettered passenger train sitting on a siding yard of the MRL SRY branch in Surrey B.C.
The Line runs from New Westminster through Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford to Chilliwack B.C. at one point right next to the US border.
Rumors are that the trainset was in town for some work and at some point may be used on the MRL line in the US as a tourist train.
For more info on MRL check out the article in June 2013 Trains magazine.
The passenger train set consists of a baggage/power car, 2 domes and an ex SP articulated car and buisness car with rear vestibule on the rear of the train. Sharp looking with blue MRL blue stripes.
The trainset was seen running on a reported test run a few weeks back on the B.C. Hydro Sub, not sure how far it got.
Would be nice to be able to take a trip over the line!
Here is a link to history of the B.C. Hydro railway line and link to maps and other details;

And some photos taken from the Pattullo Bridge from over the train;
The elevated railway line in the background is 1 of 3 legs of track coming off the Fraser River Rail bridge this is the BNSF line to Seattle Amtraks runs on this line Vancouver to Seattle.
Also on the B.C. Hydro line the BC Electric interurbans used to run. The Fraser Valley Railway Heritage Society has rebuilt a car and it will be running a short section of the line during the summer months! Here are some details
And video of the first test run;
