  3. Logging operation?

    Logging operation?

    The only RR industry left in my town. Trucks come in from the hinterland, then unload the wood onto the cars which then CBNS picks-up and gives to CN who in return pass them onto another shortline. The cars used in the operation are CN, WC, IC and NBSR. I have a short 10 second video of the...

  6. New Centre-beams

    New Centre-beams

    Not exactly a yard in the traditional sence. More of an open area where newly built cars, TTX cetre-beams in this case, are stored. Trenton Works is served by CBNS, but does its own stiching with a GE 45T you can see in the backround.

  9. Rusty hopper

    Rusty hopper

    I thought I've seen a lot of junk at the scrap yard, but this one is still working! I think its still used in Revenue service, thus isn't even MOW! Judging by the freshly applied rpeorting marks (now visible well here), it and about a dozen hoppers just like it, will be rolling for a long time...
