Boy, now you are hijacking trains for something different. I guess it must have a passport or we wouldn't get Goldth

That is a great photo.
Have fun Ed.

Autumn is my favourite season for railfanning---cooler sunny days and of course the changing colours of the landscape.Not quite at it's peak as yet,yesterday was still a good day to catch some local action around my hometown

I think our trees are turning faster than yours. It must be all the mild air coming of the lake that keeps yours green.
Thanks for posting the pictures.

Hello again---I've often thought how much railfanning is like fishing 219

---some days you don't get a bite all day and then all of a sudden the fish start biting 2285_

.Today was one of those days for me.After a very slow and frustrating morning

I was ready to head home when a passenger train finally appeared at Bayview so I thought I'd give it another few minutes---I'm glad I waited---I finally got my quota for the day.

We've been very lucky that Indian Summer has been extended but with the cooler and wet weather,the autumn colours won't last much longer so I took advantage of another nice autumn day to get some pictures.

I was surprised to see some autumn colours still hanging on after the recent wet and windy weather

I finally got a chance to do a bit of railfanning---here's some CN action taken at Bayview and Howard Rd. in Aldershot

Nice pictures Ed. It looks like it was a beautiful day too. There won't be many of them for a while now.

I like the CN low nose geep and the unique cab. Shape and paint scheme are very harmonic.
