[4K] Coal Trains On Cape Breton Island! (7/8/2024)

For a few days in July, I visited Nova Scotia with the primary target being the Sydney Coal Railway. This railroad is all that remains of the DEVCO Railway and its predecessor the Sydney & Louisburg. Following G&W's discontinuance of service on the Sydney Subdivision, this operation became completely land locked. The railroad is owned by Nova Scotia Power and operated by Savage Railway Services...

[4K] Chasing A Chip Train During Peak Foliage (10/3/2020
Просмотров 3368 месяцев назад
On 10/3/2020 I set out after MNR Train 910-3 (Oakfield-Brownville Jct). At the time 910 reported around 0100 and departed Oakfield before sunrise. However on this day operations were messed up with Train 503-3 (Squapan-Oakfield turn) arriving late and the departure being delayed due to air issues with a number of DODX flatcars. As a result the normal 910 crew was used for other jobs, while a wo...
[4K] Guilford GP40 Battles Blizzard On Pan Am Railways NMWA! (2/4/2022)

On 2/4/2022 I went out after Pan Am Railways train NMWA-04 which had a increasingly rare Guilford geep leading. The chase was interesting, since over a foot of wet snow fell over the previous 24 hours, which made some interesting shots with the train busting through the snowbanks. NMWA-04 would end up trying down at Bellsqueeze Road in Benton. The past few snow storms have caused many delays, a...

Thanks to the usual delays with Customs, I was able to beat the train to Long Pond and chase east to Little Greenwood Pond. Be sure to like and follow u...

    • @Maine_Railfan
      @Maine_Railfan 6 месяцев назад

      Sorry for replying so late, it took me a while to research. But that used to run from Edmunston, NB to Riviere du Loup. It was originally built as the Temiscouata Railway in 1889 and it was bought by CN in 1949. Between 1984 and 1989 most of the subdivision was abandoned. Although a short segment in Riviere du Loup is used as an industrial spur and a short segment in Edmunston is used to switch the paper mill there. Here is some more info on it: www.trainweb.org/oldtimetrains/TMCR/history.htm

      No, most of the branch is still 100+ year old 85 LBS stick. Although from around I-95 to CPF-110 is 112 LBS rail. I can't remember if Pan Am/Guilford did that or if it was Maine Central. Regardless, if memory serves its relay from somewhere when 115LBS stick or CWR was installed. I believe the rail was upgraded due to locomotives eating the rail on the steep grade over the years.
