Comments on: Problem: How to get a decent view of Cochrane’s ONR yard. Solution: Rent a room at the Station Hotel and crawl out onto the roof. Not what I hoped it would be, but I liked it. The management had a somewhat dimmer view. This was the only image in which I at least got a bit of bright sky after a good rain. One can see the shop building in the distance, as well as a number of Polar Bear Express coaches….in the foreground ONR 1731 and 1735 had just parked their train on the far left in photo. The Hotel is a nice place to stay, and I recommend it; I just hope there are no “Trespassing On Roof Prohibited” signs anywhere on the property now…….. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

There was a knock on my door. The girl from downstairs...."I've just gotten a call that someone in this room....." Oh well. Not much I could say. The screen was still off the window. If you head up there, I recall it as room 208. :o) I think the engineer must have tipped off the front desk. There was a knock on my door.

You said that the management had a dim view…does that mean they caught you on the roof? :) That is a neat angle and great story to go along with it Arnold!
