A true adventure yesterday (09/10) watching trains with a couple of good friends---thankfully we didn't get too lost and I managed to get everyone home safe at the end of a long day---here's some of the action along the way.Hopefully our luck will continue today as we're heading out shortly to catch some more trains---at least today I know where we're going.

Just one thing better than rail-fanning, that is, doing it with friends.... Glad you guys all had a great time, and thanks for sharing it with us...
Glad you guys got out and had a great time. Great pictures too.
Bruce and Wayne---thanks for adding your photos and especially describing the actual locations we stopped along the way.Hopefully there will be more photos especially from Bruce who finished his journey at Bayview Junction early on Friday morning on his own before he headed home.
Here's some more photos taken on the Ontario Southland RR at Salford---even though this is an operating branchline railroad it could easily become a museum with it's roster of first generation motive power

As Wayne stated my photo's from 10/10/19 would just be duplicates of what has already been posted. Five trains ran thru during my time at Bayview Junction on 10/11. I did not get to the bridge in time to get shots of the power for the first train but here are the other four.

I made a stop in Binghamton, NY hoping to catch some NYSW action, but only thing I found was the black locomotive with the horse head on it.

Hi Bruce---Bayview has always been a favourite spot to watch trains in my hometown and early mornings are usually the best time to catch some action---I'm glad you had the chance to finish your visit on a high note
Hi Bruce---your third picture at Bayview looks interesting as the second locomotive has a 100 year anniversary logo and the first car is a heavy load carrier---did you get any more shots ?
Thanks for posting these pictures Bruce.CN #3231 is an ET44AC locomotive built in 05/2019 painted with a white roof and sporting the 100 year anniversary logo---a rare catch.Here's a sister ET44AC #3178 which we spotted in Paris ON.
