Hamilton West is another good spot to do some railfanning in my hometown.At this point the Canadian National north/south Dundas sub connects with the east/west Halton sub and as well there is a Canadian Pacific line running into Hamilton on the high-line---locally this area is also known as the "cowpath".The junction also serves as a wye to change motive power direction on the Halton sub and Stuart St.yard.I lucked out on a recent venture at this location---there was action on all the lines. The first photo shows container train 148 passing the power off train 422 as she waits to cross over onto the wye.
