Cheers, the Bear.

I can't recall if I've posted this before or not, but this thread needs a little more activity. Let's hope that the conductor has closed the door in the Bee's rear vestibule. Click on the photo to get things moving...

During the Canadian winter shipping on the Great Lakes is cancelled due to ice so the railroad becomes the main carrier of grain from the storage silos in Thunder Bay to the ice-free ocean port in Montreal for export across the sea.Grain extras are a common sight on the Leetown Division as two or three freights laden with wheat pass east through the division on a daily basis.Here is CNR Mike 3377 with a solid consist of outside braced boxcars heading to Peter's Corner.

Hi Doc---the Bee sure can pull a train.I enjoyed watching the video even with the frequent stalls as it gave me an opportunity to admire all those great looking freight cars.Thanks for posting.

While lots of people hoped for a white Christmas did I do my green decal Christmas session this year
