RE: Action at the roundhouse - cn nutbar - 12-23-2021 Recently Charlie and I had a chance to do some railfanning on the Elora Gorge & Eastern rails.At the EG&E Lowbanks Terminal we were lucky to catch Canadian National Consolidation #2747 on the turntable being prepared for it's return trip to the Leetown Division---unfortunately we couldn't get a clear shot as there was an unknown foamer obstructing our view---I'll bet he got a great shot of the action at the roundhouse that day. ed steam onv2[2589] (2) by Ed Creechan, on Flickr RE: Action at the roundhouse - cn nutbar - 12-23-2021 That unknown foamer turned out to be a pretty good guy after all---when he realized he was blocking our view he came over to apologize and promised he would send some of his pictures from that day to Charlie and me---true to his promise this shot arrived in the mail.Along with the picture was an invitation to join him the next time we head to the EG&E and he will provide a personal tour---looking forward to that day. ed steam under coal loader 1[2601] by Ed Creechan, on Flickr RE: Action at the roundhouse - doctorwayne - 12-23-2021 I dunno, Ed ...them there whippersnippers hangin' around the tracks gimme the heeby-jeebys. They think everythings great fun until they git run over by a train a few times. That'll take the starch outa 'em pretty darn quick, but the next thing ya know, they're lookin' t' givya a lawsuit. I'll tell ya one thing fer certain...you'll not see me wearin' no suit around all them smokin' trains.

Hiho: Time to greet the train nuts!
