That was a great video, but as of being a Railroader out of Stratford Ontario a very hard video to watch, I remember a lot of these places which no longer have rail service, if Canadian national would have gone private 10 years earlier a lot of those lines would still be there,
I remember these Gp;s going up these lines taking transformers up to Kincarden , from Stratford to Palmerston, Stratford to Fort Erie, Stratford to Sarnia, all gone . Hensel elevators what more rail service but the GEXT won't up grade the track. I always thought Budd cars would work well on these lines for Passenger service but a lost item now too bad.
I remember switching the truck to New Life Mills I remember that diamond well. I also remember taking cars and keep you real in Collingwood going down the street and then backing them down to the elevator it seemed like a waste of time and see if he would bring them up and we could not.
what amazing vintage images !! It brings back many memories. I want to thank you for subscribing to frog and flange recently. James.
I love the Owen Sound, Hanover, Goderich footage. A line that should be restored with passenger service. Albeit there are a lot of videos on YT of the Woodstock sub, I'm looking for more video of rail through Elgin County end-to-end. If you have actual vintage footage of passenger trains operating through the area that would be serious shiznitz. I'm also on the hunt for 'Dayliner' videos, a passenger budd-car operation from the late 60s to mid-80s which operated between Havelock and Toronto. Railtime Media is the real deal.
passenger service declined in the 60s, the lines north of stratford the writing was on the wall
420 + Drop Centre + Pt St Charles = Ontario Railroad Heaven
G o d e r i c h always seem to end up with the junkier rundown locomotives like they were trying to tell the customer we weren't going to spend much money
Those unit's at 16:06 my Dad had a part in constructing those at the Point St Charles shops in 89-90
The ship @16:24 is the Nindawayma
A lot of people do not know but the original TTC in Toronto got all of his gravel from the Durham Ontario gravel pit 150 car hopper trains could be seen coming out of the Durham pit that pit is almost finished today coming down the hill into Durham on Highway 6 you could sit for half an hour waiting for a train to cross the highway full of ballast for the TTC
This Lane and any branches connecting to it will never see trains again and it's most of the right away has been built on take palmiston for instance they have built a park and houses on the old yard property. Owen sound is no different the entire line is disappeared in a lot of places. I always argue that this line should have been saved but no one listened. Accessing the CN green terminal in Owen sound was a great idea for seeing because CP used to have to cross with only two cars at a time we'll see you in locomotive down the street line to an end then shut back towards the elevator. You CP brought 100 car train up you would take days to get all cars over to the CN side CN was making money CP was not.
I remember alone gp38-2w switching two cars of time that came up from the CN with one engine and one van
Look at all the cars without graffiti.
I remember that run we rebuild the truck all the way to the nuclear power plant period only to tear it up a year later period that way we could tell the government that the line was a financial loss cost too much to maintain. What a joke
I grew up along that line. I don't suppose you'd have any photos or information regarding it?
Why was there a diamond at Hanover?
The diamond is where the interchange track crossed to connect the CN to the CP line.
@@RailtimeMedia Thank you they were not many customers left on the line in those last few years just New Life Mills in Hanover, North Wellington Coop in Harriston and Starcraft trailers in Listowel. When did the trailer company stop using rail and close down? Did the Mills in Palmerston use rail by then? Anyother customers?
@@Trainsbigandsmall I think that's about all that was left in the end. The trailer company in Listowel was Starcraft. Not sure what happened to them ? They might have run up to the elevators in Owen Sound but I was not able to capture any of that traffic.
Do you happen to have train footage of CN from Sudbury, Exeter & St Thomas including CP from Cobourg, Brockville and Brighton?
We have some footage of GEXR on the Exeter sub. Also, we have quite a bit of CN and CP coverage on the Kingston and Belleville subs
Do you have any Guelph junction railway videos from the 1990s?
Check out Shortlines of Ontario volume 2. There is a little bit of the GJR.
What is the train in the Hanover Sub transporting in that LCG car?
At what time in the video are you referring to ? It's been awhile since I watched it myself.
Do you have any footage from Guelph when CP was around
Sorry, no. Guelph Jct Railway had taken over operations before I started filming.
any information on the CN beeton sub from georgetown to barrie?
Sorry, no. I never got out that way when it was active.
No footage for cn's cowan sub and ernwood sub ?
Sorry, no. I never got out that way
Some of the line is still there .
If your looking north do you know what side the telegraph poles would be on?
Not for sure ?
@@RailtimeMedia Ok, do you happen to know when the poles got pulled out? and do you happen to have anymore pictures of CN or any of CP in Hanover trying to make it in a train sim map
@@canadianrailfan1943 Sorry, no. That is all of the film and photos I have of the Hanover area.
@@RailtimeMedia Ok thanks for your time. Love the pictures you got I miss the railway in Hanover and I didn't even see it. I live in Hanover if you couldn't tell lol :-)
@@canadianrailfan1943 I lived in Hanover most of my life and really wish I would have taken a lot more photos.
I was hoping to see some pre woke “rail way crossing”cross bucks,saw 2 but I guess they were gone in the 80s
