Hi Steve---some days are better than others and yesterday was one of those really good days when the action was steady.I found out afterwards that there was a derailment in the Aldershot yard which created some unexpected extra traffic,particularly with train 421 which is usually an early morning train so it was unusual to see this train at Bayview at 10:30am.I've found the best time to rail-fan in my hometown is either very early (7am till 10am) or later in the afternoon (after 5pm until sunset).Besides CN and CP Hamilton also has the Southern Ontario Ry.which services numerous industries as well as passenger and commuter trains (VIA and GO).
Hamilton Ontario has always had a rich railroad history with major service facilities in the past including the CNR and the late TH&B roundhouses (sadly long gone)
