Re: My Hometown - cn nutbar - 09-21-2009 Hello Everyone---here's a selection of various motive power used by Via Rail Re: My Hometown - Charlie B - 09-21-2009 Hi Ed, Great shots, but isn't the power mixed up on the first and third pictures..A no-no for railfans, just not prototypical Re: My Hometown - cn nutbar - 09-21-2009 Hi Charlie---that's what happens when the government has it's hands on the rail system,everything is ass backwards .As local railfanners,we just grin and bear it Re: My Hometown - Charlie B - 09-21-2009 Well, our government wants to run our health care, I hope they fix the mail first... Re: My Hometown - cn nutbar - 10-03-2009 Hello Everyone---Bruce,I found a couple of shots I thought you might like Re: My Hometown - Charlie B - 10-03-2009 Well Ed, the real locomotives are the ones on the head end. I like CR, but don't think too much of EMD's. Charlie Re: My Hometown - doctorwayne - 10-03-2009 Here's a few more M-424s, near the TH&B's Chatham St. roundhouse, in Hamilton: Wayne Re: My Hometown - bdw9535 - 10-04-2009 cn nutbar, That's some lashup, thanks for posting Bruce Re: My Hometown - BR60103 - 10-04-2009 I visited a layout today modelling the TH&B from Aberdeen yard out, by the fellow who did the BRMNA books on it. Re: My Hometown - cn nutbar - 10-05-2009 Hello Everyone---thank you for all the feedback and a special thanks to Doctor Wayne for adding his photos,especially the shots of the Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo's Chatham St. facilities.The TH&B was a major player in Hamilton's railway history and it's facilities in the west end of the city were second to none.Unfortunetly today nothing remains but memories and photographs of this once bustling facility.What a shame it was not preserved as a railway museum,but that progress I suppose.I found a few of my old photos showing some of the rounhouse and turntable,I only wish I had been around earlier and captured some of the beautiful TH&B's steam engines |
