Very Cool. I was amazed to tour through Hamilton industry area / railway in early 2023 and astonish at what was there. So much potential. I mean even here you are apologizing for the video quality, but looks still looks amazingly well done. I hope to come back to Hamilton soon and experience more first hand. I'm surprise very few aren't giving it more attention.
Hello Trains4Fun. I agree with you. Hamilton does have a lot to offer railway photographers and videographers. I think possibly many of us tends to focus on mailine action. Which is awesome, of course. But once in a while I like to spend time in Hamilton's industrial sector where, as a youngster, I biked around watching industrial train action. That is a scene which never gets old. Thank you for your visit and comment. James.
Good morning, my friend. I agree with that. They'll soon get despoiled though. I do like the crisp new look when they just roll out of the gate. James.
Hello FS1; I am happy that you enjoyed this one. I have always had a fascination for what goes on in the industrial section of the city I lived in as a youngster. It still interests me today. This video depicts a tiny bit of what goes on every day there. James.
Hey, thank you so much. I hope to return to the industrial area to capture some more footage there and also to attempt to obtain some aerial views. That was not possible for me at the time since it was prior to getting my drone.
Thanks for commenting, James. I noticed this as well. I have been there twice now and it was, I believe, the same situation on both occasions. Perhaps the signals are radio triggered from the cab ? Or possibly since trains stop before proceeding into the crossing the track-based signal is only triggered that close to the road. If any viewers have more info on this please feel free to weight in.
Hi David; I am happy that you enjoyed it. I could not agree with you more. The industrial north end of Hamilton, near the harbour, contains a spider web of leads and spurs. Many are still regularly used which gives rise to interesting video opportunities. Thanks for commenting and for watching.
Hi Mike; Thank you for visiting FFV channel, and for commenting. I appreciate your support. I hope that you are enjoying your retirement. I worked just around the corner at Dofasco for a time while going to school. I am sure that you have had your fill of NSC a long time ago. From the railfan's point of view, however, I have thought that it would make an interesting video to film the manufacturing process from the inside. Almost an impossibility I am sure due to liability issues etc etc. Stay safe, Mike. James.
@@mikemacneil66 Well I am glad to hear it Mike. And you have every reason to be proud. It is a great company with a great history making great railcars. James.
Hi James C. Thank you very much for your comment. I never had any doubt about the physical challenges of the work there. I would show how hard it is there if I could. But my belief is that the company is very private about what goes on inside the walls, and I understand that. I think that the industry is a very very competative one and you never know how another car manufacturer could use something they saw in a video against NSC. I would not want that. Your competitors would crush NSC if they could. But I hope that never happens. Stay safe, and thank you for visiting FFV channel. James S.
@@jamescronkhite4064 I am very glad to hear it. As a young kid growing up in Hamilton in the '50s my brother and I would bicycle around the industrial areas and seeing new rolling stock coming out of NSC was always exciting. For me it still is. And not that perhaps carries much weight, but being Hamilton born and bred person, I too am proud that NSC continues to survive and produces beautiful and quality products. If you to see an old guy filming at the intersection with a tripod, please don't hesitate to introduce yourself. James S.

Great catch! Nothing like fresh hardware without all of the rust and graffiti.

Good to hear you say

Great video, nice to see the new grain hoppers getting the beaver logo!
Hey, thank you so much.

This is not what I want but what I need as a US - Canada railfan in another country
Hi Dew; Thank you for watching my friend. James.
Wow what a great catch love that no lights crossing to start.

Very interesting, I love the track layout in those industrial areas.

Excellent video! I see you have some CP GP20C's in your parts as well
A few and it is great to see them still in service. Thanks for your comment. Stay safe my friend. James/FFV.

@@FrogandFlangeVideo That’s funny I never get tired of seeing those rail cars being pulled from nsc .Makes me proud of the work I did there
@@mikemacneil66 Well I am glad to hear it Mike. And you have every reason to be proud. It is a great company with a great history making great railcars. James.

Hello; Thanks for watching. Yes, those new cars are pretty nice to see before the vandals get at then with spray paint.
