Thanks Ed for the updates on what is happening in Hamilton, and Wayne thanks for adding that great picture of the TH&B. I wish I had known where to find this little line in '79.

Thank you Charlie---I enjoyed a nice relaxing day,just right for an old guy

It was a cold wintery day in my hometown today with snow flurries and the temperature a bone chilling minus 4 Celsius but being the fool I am I headed out for some local rail-fanning.I was able to catch a couple of CN freights at Bayview before the blowing snow ended my day at CP's Kinnear Yard.

I always enjoy your pictures. With the value of the dollar in our favor maybe Kevin and I should come up there for a couple days.

Thanks Charlie---it would be great to see you and Kevin again---the snow should be gone by June

We had 73 here today too. No railfanning, but we took the dogs for a walk. Many nice pictures Ed. I did go down trackside last evening and got a few train pictures.

CN train 422 breaks through the fog as it heads east through Bayview Junction powered by a couple of ES44AC locomotives

Re: My Hometown---Part 3 - cn nutbar - 03-28-2016

Here's a shot Deano might like---today's westbound freight through Kinnear Yard included UP AC45CWCTE #5502.Even though I'm a big CN fan I have to admit CP trains are often more interesting with a wider selection of "foreign" power

Re: My Hometown---Part 3 - cn nutbar - 03-29-2016

Westbound VIA rolls through Bayview during yesterday's rain storm---certainly not a good day for train watching

Hello everyone---some interesting action around Kinnear Yard today

Re: My Hometown---Part 3 - e-paw - 04-03-2016

Just a question....What's the green box with the white cross painted on the nose of some of the CP units? I also noticed a green circle with some other white mark painted on other units,, are they related?


Re: My Hometown---Part 3 - cn nutbar - 04-04-2016

Hi Steve---good question ???---my guess would be the possible location of first aid accessories inside the door on the front of the locomotive---please correct me if I'm wrong
