Nostalgia & History > Hamilton Branch memoryDate: 01/16/19 00:12 Hamilton Branch memory Author: Mr-Beechcroft I lived in Orland from 1985 until 2001 so I was able to shoot the West Valley Local quite a bit...but still not enough.
This is a train of sugar beets crossing the canal just northwest of Hamilton City. Adam Date: 01/16/19 05:08 Re: Hamilton Branch memory Author: refarkas A first-class image. All those beet gondolas, the failed-merger paint scheme Geep, and the bridge make this all the better.
Bob Date: 01/16/19 08:28 Re: Hamilton Branch memory Author: callum_out That's a truly excellent shot, line doesn't have too many scenic spots.
Out Date: 01/16/19 13:36 Re: Hamilton Branch memory Author: locogimp I remember being there also. I sure miss chasing the beet trains, as well as watching them switch in Ham. City.

Can you close in a little on the date or even year that you made this exposure? Date: 01/17/19 08:27 Re: Hamilton Branch memory Author: atsf121 Very nice!

Date: 01/17/19 14:32 Re: Hamilton Branch memory Author: Graybeard1942 January 8, 2019. Just before the arrival of the CFNR 1569. The signal maintainer was testing his new 'toy'. The signal can now be activated from the cab by a radio 'dial up' of four tones.
Nice image, Adam. Thanks for posting. Date: 01/17/19 17:44 Re: Hamilton Branch memory Author: TonyJ Thank you for the wonderful memory.
