Comments on: The 20th (Or 21st – debatable right now) Annual C-N-R/C-P-R Bayview meet is on Saturday June 20th 2015. All are welcome – we had a record turnout last year – this year could be even better. Come meet many of those who contribute to Railpictures.ca plus many others. For those who are new – there are washrooms on-site, food is only a couple KM in either direction and parking is free. A very safe place to watch trains. If you are bringing family, such as a spouse, or your parents, they may enjoy the adjacent RBG Laking/Spring Gardens (Admission is required if you wish to enter the RBG, otherwise standing on the bridge is free).Event begins at dawn, and continues to supper time, where a group often heads to a local restaurant for food. The hardiest of railfans used to do 24 hours but it’s been a few years since these young men have been up to the challenge :) People come from far and wide – if you do come, make SURE you sign the guestbook, or else we don’t have you counted for the recordbooks. Pictured above is an eastbound passing the gaggle of cameras from the 2014 meetup. See many of you there.

Hi all, the 2022 C-N-R/C-P-R (Cnet) meet is on Saturday June 25. Same as in all prior years except the traffic is much different this time Busier, since all day GO service has arrived.

There’s now a tim hortons just down the road (walkable to the east) which opened a few years ago.

Bring sunscreen, wear your best Hawaiian Shirt and see you there.

Here’s the oldest message I can find that refers to the CNET meet at Bayview

https://groups.io/g/C-P-R/message/3709?p=%2C%2C%2C20%2C0%2C0%2C0%3A%3Acreated%2C0%2Cbayview%2C20%2C2%2C120%2C15578736

Started in 1995, it was on the CNET list (this list ended in 1999 when merged with egroups). The meet morphed over to C-N-R and C-P-R lists, and here.. and anyone is welcome

People will be there all day but if you want to meet the most people show up in the morning. This is an unorganized gathering, you’re responsible for feeding yourself, washrooms, etc (the nearby RBG Laking Garden will be open and should have open washrooms during RBG hours however).

Hopefully this year I will be able to join you, but instead of being behind the throttle I will be behind the lens

Hi Folks – the 2017 Bayview meet is on June 24 2017. Anyone have a photo from a prior meet? I’ll make it the main page feature for the next few weeks if you can – this one is it for now

It’s a guest book. So you sign it using a pen.

Do we sign the guest book when we get there or do we do it online?

Yes you should show up. I am sure it will be a great day! Alas, I will not be there, nor will I be working. I will be on holidays. Happy photographing!
