Don Date: 05/17/15 08:27 Re: Proximity... Author: Train611 Close is right!!!
How many trans per day or week past that point? Excellent photos! 611 Posted from iPhone Date: 05/17/15 11:34 Re: Proximity... Author: Torisgod The "ATTENTION 2 TRAINS" sign reminds me of a sign that they have on all double-track train crossings in France: "Un Train Peut Cacher Un Autre" (One Train Can Hide Another). It's such a great statement that I have a (legally acquired) "Un Train Peut Cacher Un Autre" sign on my wall.
Tor in Eugene Date: 05/17/15 21:05 Re: Proximity... Author: FJ That old house has been converted into apartments over the years. At the Royal Military College nearby, there are several photos of troops trains with that house in the background taken during World War I. The old Grand Trunk station is behind it. Troops marched from `` the Fort`` to the station. There are seven trains per day on that line. Two Amtrak , 323/324 528/529 and 522 a roadswitcher. Thanks.
