This is near the Upper Canada Village. Here is a recent news article. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/a ... -1.5252835

Yes it is still there. It is the start of the rail trail on the old Wolfeboro.

Going off the Bull Sheet it was sold to PRLX. http://www.bullsheet.com/roster-SD70ACe.html

Ex New Orleans Public Belt 1001 SW1000 was spotted with Plymouth and Lincoln marks headed north.

CN FP9 were geared for passenger operations. Do remember Conway received the sisters from VIA Rail.

Back when I attended REDI they did not give you a roommate.

Its been a few year since I worked at Cville but there are no containers interchanged there. There is also no ramp. I believe these trains now work the short pull so they will crew change in Cville and may work the yard possibly swapping cars or even picking up autoracks.

No crews do not like when railfans wear PPE vests. It makes us think you are an official or something is wrong. PPE around tracks is for protection, not to show your loyalty to our job. If you are railfanning and need a PPE vest then you are too close to the tracks.

ONW 2 was scrapped in 2009 on site.

There were 100 SD60Ms built for the BN railroad. Of these 14 are operated by PRLX still in cascade green and now sold to NS NS6807-6815. The remaining barring any wreck retirement (of which I cannot provide to you if any) are still on BNSF but renumbered to the 1400 series. So there are a good amoun...

Then again sometimes it is the radio itself. I have had one that you couldn't communicate past the long porch on a SD...

Its probably more to showcase their new power and showing the future of the railroad to investors.

I also studied Supply Chain in hopes of ending at Trainmaster. I spoke to a few ex-trainmasters that hired straight out of college and their advice to me was get in from the ground. So that is what I did. Hired up as a conductor. You learn more being on the ground than thinking you know what to do w...

I am just commentating on the test. CSX called our the hang test. They have you hang from a ladder for about 5 minutes switching between both arms one arm both arms the other arm and then both while doing shove signals. To be honest it is harder to do that hang test than it is to actually ride a sho...
