@@dhdisprsmith2296 It's my neck of the woods so i'm glad I can help. I'm modelling the Napadogan in HO around 1992-1994 so your videos have been an immense help
Excellent video, very cool shot of container and trailers [train] And how about those MLW! At 5:56 great shot of a 636 and 630! Very nice close up of 3575. Sound of those big ALCO at work is very nice indeed. Nice shot of the curve . Great video!!
What company logo was on those green box cars around 2:03? I remember seeing those around when I was a kid (early 90s) but haven't since, really. Any idea?
This logo is from Newfoundland's Terra Transport. It was a wholly owned subsidiary of CN that took over all their operations on the island after 1979 up until 1988 when the islands narrow gauge railway was abandoned. CN ran these containers as an Intermodal service starting in the early 80's to try turning a profit in the province in hopes of keeping the rail service going. The containers you saw floating around in the 90's were orphans of sorts. Eventually CN did repaint most of the containers but you can still find a few used as static storage sheds or abandoned out there with that logo.
@@patrickgbaird Thanks so much for the insight! When I saw them in the video I had instant flashbacks but had forgotten all about them all these years. Again, thanks Patrick!
@@timothysteeves4167 Gee I don’t know Tim. I’m not hearing it. It’s from 33 year old VHS tape transferred to disc, that may be the cause of what you’ve hearing?
That’s what trains should sound and look like. With vans “cabooses”. Trains nowadays just sound and look so fake. Something missing when there’s no caboose.
My Dad was a section foreman for the CN back in the 80’s and I hung around with him at work so I grew up around the railway the better part of my young life. Lots of rides on the old fairmont motorcar through Algonquin Park on the Beachburg Subdivision.
Excellent video! Always an underrated pleasure seeing old footage from the glory days of railroading
Thanks Eric! They were certainly great times.
This is Mint....An Awesome mix of EMD and MLW power....
Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
That first spot is Tie Camp, that part of the line is newer, it used to be a wider curve and went through a tunnel
I didn’t know that. Thanks so much for the information!

That’s great, I’m happy they’ve been helpful for you! I always enjoyed fanning Eastern Canada with my friends.
A walk back in time.
They were some great days in railroading!

Gee I’m not sure. They’re international containers but I don’t know who the logo belongs to.

@@calvinbaII you're welcome, I'm glad I could help!
What is making the engine sound in the background?
I’m a little confused, but all the engine sounds are the actual sounds of the locomotives.
@@dhdisprsmith2296 It sounds like a fairmont motor idling throughout the whole video
@@timothysteeves4167 Gee I don’t know Tim. I’m not hearing it. It’s from 33 year old VHS tape transferred to disc, that may be the cause of what you’ve hearing?
You have got to be kidding me!
They were great times Dan! Hope you’re doing well!!
Lots of smoke

I agree wholeheartedly!!

Great early memories!@@johnbozak1662
