  1. It doesn’t look like that now….I think the weed sprayer did a tour of the Guelph Sub

  2. Again, another image making a lot of out little. Well done!!!

  3. Nice to see train traffic on tracks that see very little. How often do they use this track?

  4. @Boxcarphilly that track in Guelph, east leg of the Y at Guelph Jct., usually sees daily use from 582 off the Fergus Spur turning their engine.

  5. Thanks Arnold – sometimes it just comes together.

  6. When in the week does this usually occur?

  7. I drove by today – they really killed the weeds. All gone now. But they only killed this leg of the wye – not the Guelph N spur for some reason.

    Cameron usually Monday to Thursday, approx 1100 to 1300, but some days they will wye on the GJR joint track by Edinburgh Rd..

    Best bet is go to Alma St for 1100 and wait to see what happens, usually you can get 582, 580, and 85 all by 1215 (both 582 and 580 have to clear for 85) and yes, all of it will be plain as day over the radio due to work clearances.

    582′s moves usually take a good hour so lots to see. When you do come ping me :) I’ll meet up with you.
