Comments on: While I usually remark that I spend a lot of time here, one must not remiss the Men and Women who work this line day in and out.. they spend far more time down here then I do, I just tote my big camera every once in a while.. And this is the kind of scene I love to shoot, gritty Hamilton, Dofasco smokestacks, tank cars.. holding tanks for Ruetgers Canada (formerly VFT) at right, and the Orange of G&W looks really really good here. Too bad 2117 has already gone tits up only a month after coming online – let’s hope it’s rebuilt quickly. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

But I see your point haha If you do a heavy train that is Brantford bound, the throttling up out of town is much better than Hagersville bound! But I see your point haha

GEXR has the best show in town, 5 mile long acton grade for a westbound and getting up to 60 mph on either side of Guelph is a show you cannot afford to miss with the emd's. What i heard in caledonia reminded me of csx departing wallaceburg, a short burst of power. Steel steve has heard good shows in hamilton with westbounds climbing up grade under ferguson ave :) Ahh young Joe, it did sound good but not for long, doesnt take too much time to get to 25 mph.
