Hello everyone---like many others I lost all my Photobucket pictures so I've had to start again.I'm now using Flickr so here we go with Part 4 of pictures from my hometown---hope you enjoy.
Thanks PEIR.One of my favourite spots for rail-fanning in my hometown is Bayview Junction---this picture was taken from the Laking Garden bridge looking south.
To celebrate Canada's 150 Anniversary Canadian Pacific ran this special train across Canada.Here is the train entering Hamilton West
Ed, I am glad to see a new thread started. I am looking forward to all of your pictures. I hope you will repost the ones that were lost as time goes by.

Thanks for the kind words Charlie---here's some previous shots from my hometown
Copetown
Hamilton West
Laking Garden
One of my earliest pictures taken in the 80's
Always good to see ALCo's/MLW's, it just makes for a nice day

...and in my favourite paint scheme, too!!
While this isn't my favourite paint scheme, I don't mind it all that much, as it's on my favourite cab unit...
It would've looked even better in its original green/gold/black.

Well, not exactly your hometown, but I too like the ALCo/MLW covered wagons. This was taken in October, 1979 from Fort York, a great place to take pictures at the time.[

Wayne and Charlie---thanks for adding your photos---certainly is great to see other member's photos taken in and around my hometown
Another set of MLW cab-units taken really close to my hometown on the Leetown Division---Doc,I thought you might like this even though it's not in the classic green/yellow/black CNR livery.
Some pictures taken this morning from the Bay St. bridge.The first shot is a special passenger train which was bringing the athletes from the Invictus Games to Niagara Falls
This passenger special created a bit of a backlog of the regular freights so I was lucky to catch Train 422 which is usually an early morning train
Some interesting power on 422 including C40-8 #2003
