A special rail-fanning adventure - cn nutbar - 09-12-2014
Thursday was one of those memorable rail-fanning days that I thoroughly enjoyed,especially because of my companions---Charlie and Doctor Wayne.Charlie is on his way to a fishing trip and fortunately for us decided to stop over for a few days in our hometown.We ventured out yesterday taking in some of the local scenes as well as a few new rail-fanning locations.Although the action wasn't as busy as Charlie's home territory I think we had a pretty good day,especially our visit to the Ontario Southland Railway's service shop in Salford.Here's some of my photos taken during the day---hopefully Charlie and Wayne can add some of their favourite pictures.Thanks again Charlie and Wayne---you made my day.

Looks like it was a great time,, And What's the story behind the first generation units ???? Was this a museum, or tourist line ?

Hello Steve---believe it or not,the Ontario Southland Railway is a revenue generating railroad --- here is their web-site --- <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.osrinc.ca/update/Operations/salford.htm">http://www.osrinc.ca/update/Operations/salford.htm</a><!-- m -->
Without a doubt,it could easily be mistaken for a museum with their diesel roster---also the railway employees are very receptive to rail-fanners,they allowed us to tour the entire site and were eager to talk about their locomotive's heritages

Here's a few more pictures taken at Salford

great shots!! Looks like you had a great time...
Re: A special rail-fanning adventure - Charlie B - 09-13-2014
Thanks again Ed and Wayne for the great time. My original plans were to go to Carleton Place to spend a week fishing, but I realized I was not ready for that much of an outing yet so I have returned home for a little more recuperation time. Next year for sure.
I am adding locations to the photos so I will know where we were. Some great places for sure.

You guys live in RR heaven..!!
I'm lucky to hear a whistle some nights of the engine that works the only spur in town (Home Depot)...
Love that shot of the train crossing the bridge...

Charlie:
next time you may make it up to here.
Mr Nutbar:
What are the two Woodstock stations?
Re: A special rail-fanning adventure - doctorwayne - 09-14-2014
David, this one is the VIA (ex-CN) station:

On the way to Ed's place in the morning, I caught this on CP's ex-TH&B line as it crossed Mud St. in Grassie:

This last one is a scene from the past, as depicted in a mural on the side of a building in Hamilton. On May 27, 1953, CNR Mogul 88 and Mikado 3506 were headed up Ferguson Ave., on their way to Simcoe with 30 cars. The 88's tender picked a point, flipping the loco on its side, injuring two crewmen.

As a child, I was among the gawkers viewing the aftermath.

Re: A special rail-fanning adventure - cn nutbar - 09-15-2014
Wayne---thanks for adding your excellent pictures,especially your shots from Salford.While we were there a light rain was falling and my camera had a few rain-drops on the lens so a few of my shots were spoiled including my pictures of the RS18's.As well I really like your photo on the bridge at Paris---we'll have to go back there one day.
Re: A special rail-fanning adventure - Charlie B - 09-15-2014
You fellows have the same pictures as I do, but I got photobombed on one.

Yeah, those darn seniors are worse than kids when it comes to spoiling a picture.

Re: A special rail-fanning adventure - Charlie B - 09-15-2014
who said anything about spoiling a picture? This is a very fond memory.
