    Carmen, What is it?

    Looks like a load/empty sensor for when the brakes are applied. These things are a great benefit as they can limit the amount of air put into the cylinder during heavy brake applications. Wheels are a lot less likely to skid with these, when they are working properly

    Questions Re: Stock Cars in Winter

    Animals do fine sitting in the fields all winter. I've heard from some of the old guys at work that the animals were treated better than the employees. The railroads were more than happy to get rid of them.

    You'll see 101 in a 1 1 1 DP combo at 14000 feet now. 111 I hear is supposed to be running like that soon.

    Milage markers with decimal points are used to pinpoint an exact location. Used for bridges, switches etc.

    That's quite possible. I gotta tell you the run between Portage and Dauphin is pretty boring!

    Delta Jct. is at Portage La Prarie not Gladstone. Also, those approach signals and home signals at the diamond are in service. They are apporoach lit and don't come on until you are almost at them.

    Comment by 'Chris de Vries' in media 'Let's play bridge'

    560/561 is the train that goes to Watrous and turns around and does the majority of the work between Saskatoon and Watrous. 520, depending on the day, will work the Watrous sub east as well, doing Cargill and Agrium at Clavet. 582 is still working as well. I'm not sure whether its 520...

    Where is the picture of 102 that you took when I was waving at you while we took the siding at Riverview when we were coming off the bridge? To give you a reminder, 2508 was the lead unit.
