Pine Orchard on The Bala Sub14 Jun 2008 07:46 pm

Summer is almost here, and hopefully I will be able to do some good railfanning. I’m hoping me and my dad can go up to Brechin. They seem to uses to that siding one the most since it is there biggest one, its 13,000 ft or something. A strange thing happened on June 1st: we were sitting at Pine Orchard and we heard CN 106 clear the signal. Everything seemed fine until I see these 2 kids about my age waving to me on an empty intermodal car. It totally caught me off guard, I told my dad, but as soon as i pointed to where they were, they ducked. I have a video on youtube of it http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=DmKyzk1TLMY

Anyway, I’m hearing CN 545 more regularly now which is good, I hope to catch it sometime this summer. That’s about it, thought I would make a post of whats happening. Keep those comments coming!

Cya for now

    Wow, I can’t believe people are still crazy enough to jump on a freight train. I slip and it’s all over.

    Hey there Benny. I was at a pre season hockey tournament in Huntsville watching my beloved Lindsay Muskies last weekend and based on your pictures on thi site I could’ve sworn that I saw you there…….or perhaps you have twin.

    Love the site, and while at the Huntsville Arena I went for a little train ride on the steam tourist short line there.

    Craig.
