Those GP 38's pushing those U K loco's are some of our smaller - and older - machines. The SD 70 above that is one of our newer machines - and they are very large.
Canada is around 5,000 or so miles wide as is the U S and not as high but still very large. That is why we have such large trains in height and length (and horsepower) in loco's, cars and number of cars per train at times.
Vancouver Island is roughly the size of the main U K - England. Scotland and Wales. I do think the U K is slightly larger - but not by a great deal.
That is why your vehicles are smaller than ours here - you do not have the room for these massive machines.
