Promagstyle Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 The GECO Branch that runs parallel with the Scarborough Rapid Transit line now runs late at night, because I think it is more convient to get back to the yard at night. It sometimes shows up as late as 2am in the Morning at the Kennedy and Eglington Avenues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board Admin A. Wong Posted March 4, 2008 Author Board Admin Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Weird sighting today, saw a train with 5336 by Belvedere Station, then as my train went further north, there was another train right behind the first one - with some different units, 2 out of 3 were in the 7000 range.

M. Parsons Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Weird sighting today, saw a train with 5336 by Belvedere Station, then as my train went further north, there was another train right behind the first one - with some different units, 2 out of 3 were in the 7000 range. I saw that once before... one train after another the Vegreville sub. Those 7000's... assuming they are GP-9's.. are kind of out of place up there. I can't say I ever recall seeing a GP-9 on the Vegreville sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board Admin A. Wong Posted April 4, 2008 Author Board Admin Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Saw an interesting consist with I think a 5200 series loco, with 8818 and BC Rail 4654. Later on in the night, I saw what looked like a CP Rail loco and a CN loco in the CN yards along Yellowhead Trail, crossing above 97 Street.

CN7066 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 CN 1408 at North Vancouver, BC on the ex-BC Rail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promagstyle Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I didn't want to create another pointless thread, but yeah so... Shinny and smooth wheel that belongs to a flatbed railcar loaded with 2X4's A view from the top looking down at the couplers and this is between two flatbed railcars as well Last shot another view, but with different cars; a tanker and a flatbed coupled, but with slack.

trainmaster_1 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 CN 1408 at North Vancouver, BC on the ex-BC Rail. How often are the 1400's on the ex BCR Tyler ? We got 1422 held hostage at Oakville Yard and she's been getting alot of positive views from the old hog heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CN7066 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 How often are the 1400's on the ex BCR Tyler ? We got 1422 held hostage at Oakville Yard and she's been getting alot of positive views from the old hog heads. 1408 has been at the ex-BCR for a few weeks. The yard power at the BCR is whatever Thornton yard sends over. We've got those 2 units(7047 and 1408) and the 7244+slug set. Lynn Creek(CN North Van yard) has 2 GMD-1's(1420 and 1440) along with some 7300's, and the 1419 is either at Thornton yard or Kamloops(yard power for Kamloops comes from Thornton yard).

smallspy Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 ...she's been getting alot of positive views from the old hog heads. I find that hard to believe. The last time a GMD1 was around town the crews couldn't wait to get rid of it....it lasted all of 5 days down at Oakville before it was shipped back up to Mac.

Board Admin A. Wong Posted May 22, 2008 Author Board Admin Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Not a CN one, but earlier this week i saw a Grand Trunk (GT) loco on the CN line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCT-3122-D800-10240 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 CN #6106... Is that an Ex-Illinois Central unit? Looks like an SD40-2 to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. DeLarge Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 CN #6106... Is that an Ex-Illinois Central unit? Looks like an SD40-2 to me. It's actually IC 6106 painted up CN but with IC sublettering. Same with the grey and blue locos with the big CN on the side: they have small sublettering for either IC or GTW on the sides of the cab. I find that hard to believe. The last time a GMD1 was around town the crews couldn't wait to get rid of it....it lasted all of 5 days down at Oakville before it was shipped back up to Mac.Dan Been to Oakville lately Dan? 1422 should be still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallspy Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Been to Oakville lately Dan? 1422 should be still there I know 1422 is still at Oakville....I saw it on Sunday. My point was that the last time another GMD1 was here (about a year and some change ago) all that was heard was griping from the crews about it, and it was sent back west in short order.

Dan From what I heard Dan, it's all changed..alot of the hoggers like it because of the 360 cabview plus she holds the rail fairly well when they went to pull and spot the bucks at the Ford Plant on a grade, she pulled all 8 tracks (32 loaded multis) for departure then shoved 32 mty multi's back up to spot all 8 tracks again.
