can you give me a vague idea as to where youre located?

none of the scenery looks too familiar..

but.

 

i saw either that dead animal, or a animal in the EXACT same positioning, dead on some tracks right near my house.

 

i know youre all going to think 'well, theres thousands of dead track animals" but thats exactly what i saw. perhaps im out of it.

The CANAC beltback is a wonderfull device! thats what those signs refer too...CP has a bunch of switchers equipped with this system. It alows CP to cut staffing by having the engineer control the engine while outside and on the ground, allowing him to do all the switching himself. Its a great device in terms of being able to switch much more smoothly....you dont have to rely on hand signals or judgement of a brakeman on the ground, you can be in his shoes and still control the engine.

 

nice shots...that line with the CPAAs and the KCS autmaxes is amazing...daytimes like what!

yeah if there were ever a time to shed a tear at a picture, seeing flats and new kcs autoracks sitting in the middle of a wooded scene would be one. holy shit.

where is this and how much is an apartment...?

 

the first flick is actually a scrap yard, most of the trains need to be repainted, repaired, or get new wheels...

most of those freights haven't left in a year(except the wheaties)...also that yard has the main cp headquarters in ontario?canada?(not sure which) further down the line, so the best cars are unpaintable......the second shot is somewhere out in the country(i didn't take either of those shots..)
