Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 01-14-2014
Hello Everyone---my first railfanning adventure of 2014 provided a pleasant surprise.I stopped by CP's Kinnear Yard hoping to catch some action,maybe a trio of the usual GP9's but in their place I got my first shot of a GP20C-ECO rebuilt GP9,number 2262 in pristeen condition.Unfortunately I couldn't get some clearer shots so these pictures will have to do for now but now that I know this unit is at Kinnear,hopefully I'll get some better shots next time.

It doesn't look like you had anymore sun than I did today, but you made a good catch and had a chance to get out.

The good news is that the 2262 is still at Kinnear Yard---the bad news is that I still can't get some good unobstructed pictures

Ghosts from the past---unfortunately all the items in this photo are just fond memories---the picture of the diesel,turntable and the roundhouse was taken at the Hamilton TH&B engine facililites on Chatham St. back in the early 80's---even the TH&B Railway no longer exists.

Hello---here's another picture of CP GP20C-ECO 2262 at Kinnear Yard---it's hard to believe that this diesel started out as a GP9

It was one of the nicer days today (only minus 5 celsius) and with another snow advisory for tomorrow,I thought I'd take a run out to Bayview.I didn't stay long but caught this eastbound freight with a Central Illinois SD70 in the 3 unit consist.

Nice to see that "the hackey" hasn't carried you away completely.
That photo is the first time I noticed the switch heaters - at least they're getting used this winter.

Hey..!! You live in train-watcher's paradise..!! I'm lucky to hear the whistle way off in the distance at night as the little S-2 switches out a couple of cars out of the port of Brownsville...
All that snow reminds me of my days in Wisconsin.... :cry:
Keep up the good work..!!
Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 03-18-2014
Thanks Gus---Hamilton is a good area for railfanning but it's Charlie who lives in train watcher's paradise
