    Now I see how all them CN conductors look so bright eyed and bushy tailed after and all nighter - they have the perfect sleeping quarters. And microwaves to boot. Hot doggy!

    Actually Roman just to clarify, the train is gathered up from Ag-Pro in downtown Saskatoon off Circle Drive. The 2130 Tramp spots and pulls the elevator every now and then and brings the loads into Sutherland Yard. The cars aren't always billed east, sometimes they run west to Cascadia...

    Do you know how hard it is to track release with that stupid engine number? Spent all night giving up track to 457 who was 4 miles behind me.

    Nope. It is pipe for the pipeline that is going to America from Canada. Where I work we are handling all the pipe and it is getting goofy. A 25 car spot of that pipe is equal to about 9 miles of pipeline. This pipe movement will not be done till April. As for the tank it was an empty with...

    The best part is they just replaced the ties in that track and now they are all split again. Man I love it... Epic failure. Other than my rant below, great shot Roman, glad you were there too catch it. "It was a bit harsh i found railroading is not easy stuff like this can happen...

    Why the narrow guage? I really don't understand the whole narrow guage concept; especially in this case whereby the car isn't any thinner by having smaller trucks. My life of disillusion is closing in!

    Roman, coming into the yard from the East like this poses a problem with sightlines due to the highway overpass. Rule 105 in the CROR states that we have to be prepared to stop within one half the range of vision of equipment, track units, and switches not properly lined. The East yard could...

    Don't laugh Roman, we bought all them SD40's back... We bought some goofy shortline in the states and they bought most of the old 5500's. Now through the purchase, we get our junk engines back! Don't worry, you will see them in Sutherland sometime, that is where all the junk power goes...

    Just coming into Sutherland to get a mechanical inspection done before returning to Bredenbury for the winter. Wilkie's plow went to suterland on 456 about a month ago and returned on 457 a week later. Just in case we get the blizzard like last year.
