Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 04-05-2013 Hello again---Kinnear yard always has it's share of older Geeps but this is probably the only time we'll see these two units on this property---these two Railink locomotives appear to be waiting transfer to their new owners---CCGX.These locomotives were often spotted in the Canadian National Stuart St. yard. Waiting on the mainline were a couple of CP's big power Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 04-05-2013 Here's a shot of Railink 1755 and 1808 down on Stuart St. Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 04-08-2013 Greetings from Hamilton.A treat today at Kinnear yard as a couple of very clean ex-Soo SD60's were part of a three unit consist sitting in the west end of the yard.Unfortunately it's difficult to get some unobstructed photos so this is the best I could do. I did find a gap in the fence and was able to get a couple of better shots.

Somebody is going to get the photo police on your case.... P.D. They are cool..!! Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 04-09-2013 Totally legal today Gus As I mentioned yesterday,pictures from the west end of Kinnear yard are sometimes hard to photograph (legally) and I certainly do not encourage or practise trespassing so I was happy to catch this eastbound train today sitting in the yard with a clear view from Lawrence Rd..A bonus was the four SD40-2's at the head end including three ICE/DME units. Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 04-14-2013 Greetings from Bayview---a couple of shots of Via's motive power Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 04-14-2013 Coffee break must be over---the "heat" is on.Somebody must have squealed on the railfanners peaking through the fence. Maybe the heavy rains will help clean up the heavily weathered 8201 Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - Steamtrains - 04-14-2013 Somebody did a "great" job on the weathering of #8201... Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 04-15-2013 I got lucky at Bayview today as I spotted my first CN SD60 #5437 Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 04-16-2013 Hello again---over the last few days I've had intentions to start doing some outside spring clean up around the house but Mother Nature hasn't been co-operating with all the rain and cooler temperatures.Maybe it's not such a bad thing as it hasn't prevented me from doing a bit more railfanning so I headed out to Kinnear yard and Hamilton West to test my luck---here's what I spotted (all legally West Kinnear yard Hamilton West Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 04-17-2013 CP SD60 6223 is ex-SOO 6023 which was rebuilt by CADRAIL 20/09/2012. Here's a couple of older shots of SOO locomotives spotted at Kinnear yard prior to their rebuild Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 04-23-2013 Hello Everyone---I spotted this trio of CN power today at Howard Rd. in Aldershot---the blue unit is former Illinois Central C40-8W 2458. Shortly after, a Via passenger passed heading east. On the way home I stopped at CP Kinnear yard and spotted these diesels. Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 04-27-2013 Hello Everyone---here's a shot of Hamilton's GO station Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 05-01-2013 What a beautiful day today---and the railfanning was pretty good as well---here's some action from Hamilton West ,Howard Road and Bayview---hope you enjoy Re: My Hometown---Part 2 - cn nutbar - 05-08-2013 Hello Everyone---I had a few chores today and as always,brought my camera "just in case" |
