My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 09-01-2010 Hello Everyone---I often wonder how many Big Blue members are on dial-up and how frustrating it must be when they are trying to access a topic that has multiple pictures so I thought I would start another subject on my hometown,Hamilton Ontario.I'm going to post my most current photos in this thread---here's some shots I've taken over the last few days---hope you enjoy I was lucky to catch a second C40-8 (2114) on train 331 heading west through Hamilton Here's a couple of shots at Bayview A few more shots taken near Howard Rd.,Aldershot Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 10-27-2010 Hello Everyone---here's some shots taken today at Stuart St.,Hamilton.Those early Geeps are almost 50 years older than their younger siblings Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - ezdays - 10-27-2010 Thank you for sharing these fantastic shots with us. One other thing I have to commend you on is that the size of your photos are more than adequate for viewing and reasonable enough for those on dial-up to be able to see them as well. These shots are all well under 100K apiece, yet I have no problems seeing the details. Thanks again for these pictures, and thanks also for keeping the sizes within reason. Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - nachoman - 10-27-2010 nice to see some older geeps still roaming around. Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - Ralph - 10-27-2010 Nice shots! I am also happy to see the older Geeps. Considering the traffic I'm surprised to see so much greenery between the tracks. Ralph Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - e-paw - 10-27-2010 Looks like those geeps had there dynamic brakes removed and had some kind of air filter installed. Great find... Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - Charlie B - 10-27-2010 Ed, nice to see you are out and about. Great pictures. I always enjoy seeing them, be they the full size beasts, or the scale versions of steam from days gone by.

I like the old switcher rusting on the siding. Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - P5se Camelback - 11-03-2010 What a cute scale car!! There's one just begging to be modeled! It'd look nice sitting on a siding near the freight scales in a yard!
