First aid kit is in the cab. On CP the green + indicates where the stretcher is located.

cool.. Thanks sir...

Does that go the same for the green circle, like on the nose of this pic that you posted?

Hi Steve---the green sign on CN locomotives also identifies the location of a stretcher---interesting CP uses a cross on their sign---you would think it should be one universal sign for all railroads

Hard to believe it's the 5th of April with all that white stuff still covering the ground at Hamilton's Bayview Junction.On this bright, sunny and cold day I caught this powerful CN train 422 eastbound with three AC units including 3012,3032 and 2930.

This eastbound CP freight led by ES44AC #8868 was sitting in Hamilton's Kinnear Yard this morning waiting for a crew change

Lawrence Rd. and Gage Ave.S. in Hamilton---a great spot to watch CP action as the trains exit Kinnear Yard

I was lucky to catch this CP freight this morning heading east through Hamilton's Kinnear Yard.The power included a couple of CP ES44AC's (8911 and 8721) and three Dakota Minnesota and Eastern SD40-2's (6201,6091 and 6367)











Shortly after this train left the yard a second eastbound followed with a rare ex-Soo SD60 on the head-end

Action on the waterfront---this heavy lift was being prepared to be loaded onto the waiting freighter this morning down on the Wentworth St. dock.The steam turbine was built at the Babcock and Wilcox plant in Galt Ontario and transferred to Hamilton on 20 axle Schnabel car BBCX 1000 and BBCX caboose 1002

Mainline traffic on the CN through Hamilton Ontario has been limited ever since the railroad has cancelled CN train 331/330 so I consider myself lucky to have captured train 422 this morning at 8:45am as it passed through the industrial section of the city.Unfortunately the early morning sun ruined what could have been a much better picture as SD70M-2 #8013 and #8834 headed west over the crossing at Gage Ave.N.



Conditions were much better this morning around 10am at Hamilton's CP Kinnear Yard with the sun behind me just as train 246 entered the yard from the west.Today's consist included a couple of ES44AC units including CEFX "Bluebird" #1055
