While BC Rail no longer operates the Excursion services, it did lease out its line to Rocky Mountaineer Vacations to use, operating two services over the former BC Rail route. The "Whistler Sea to Sky Climb" operates (until Spring 2016) between Vancouver and Whistler, which featured an observation car similar to the historical open-top car. The "Rainforest to Gold Rush" train operates north from Whistler via Prince George to Jasper. Both services are exclusively tourist-oriented and do not make local stops nor accept local-area travellers with fares significantly higher than former BCR passenger service rates. The West Coast Railway Association also returned the Royal Hudson #2860 to service during 2006.
