Re: My Hometown - LiveSteamer - 10-06-2009 Great Pictures Re: My Hometown - galt904 - 10-07-2009 cn nutbar Wrote: Is the roundhouse still standing or has it been razed? Re: My Hometown - doctorwayne - 10-07-2009 It's gone, as is the coaling tower and, I believe, the turntable too. The roundhouse was disassemble by a Mennonite work crew, who re-used much of the timber at least, for new construction. Wayne Re: My Hometown - cn nutbar - 10-14-2009 Hello Everyone---Autumn,my favourite time for taking pictures Re: My Hometown - tetters - 10-14-2009 Mind if I jump in... These were taken when we decided to hop the GO Train down to the Ex this past summer. Re: My Hometown - LiveSteamer - 10-26-2009 Some nice pictures. Re: My Hometown - cn nutbar - 10-27-2009 Hello Everyone---I finally had a chance to get out and take some pictures before all the leaves are gone.Even though it was a bit overcast I snapped off a few shots.Before you know it we'll be taking pictures of that white stuff Hope you enjoy Re: My Hometown - cn nutbar - 10-28-2009 Hello Everyone---a couple more shots from yesterday's photo shoot showing a couple of the locomotives in more detail.I wish I had been in a better position to photograph the 6414---it is done up in a special paint scheme for Loto Quebec and is affectionally known to some railfanners as "the Turd" Re: My Hometown - Charlie B - 10-28-2009 Dear Ed I sure hope Amtrak doesn't see the paint on 6414. It is in my opinion weird enough to make Amtrak, kind of looks like it was tagged. (Or was it?) Charlie Re: My Hometown - cn nutbar - 10-28-2009 Hi Charlie---the 6414 was not tagged,even though it looks like it could have been .I found some pictures of this unit by doing a google search for "via 6414"--- there are some more pictures which show the paint scheme (I didn't want to copy someone else's pictures) --- here's another of my pictures but it fails to show a lot of the details Re: My Hometown - tetters - 11-02-2009 Hey I have a couple pics of that 'egg loco' too! Taken last Thanksgiving long weekend when my bro was in town visiting. These are taken on the East side of Union Station. Re: My Hometown - cn nutbar - 11-23-2009 Hello Everyone---Tetters,thanks for your additional pictures.Finally got a chance to do some railfanning today.Not the best of conditions as it was hazy , the action was slow and as you can see the leaves have disappeared but I managed to get a couple of shots.I've got an invite to Doctor Wayne's tomorrow---I'm sure the conditions for railfanning will be much better Re: My Hometown - Dan85 - 11-23-2009 Fantastic Photos! Looking forward to seeing more! - Dan Re: My Hometown - cn nutbar - 12-12-2009 Hello Everyone---seasons greetings from the Great White North Re: My Hometown - cn nutbar - 04-01-2010 Hello Everyone---Here's a couple of photos taken today at Bayview Junction |
