Canadian Railroads > Copetown Goings-OnDate: 03/30/13 18:23 Copetown Goings-On Author: TheCurator On a beautiful Saturday afternoon not a lot was happening this Easter weekend, but myself and a few other 'fans spent a few hours at the former station location.
1)Lights glowing in the bright sunshine a distant freight closes in. 2)SD75i #5776 with IC #1038 trailing leads it's e/b mixed freight through Copetown. 3)David J. Joseph Co. open hopper #1401. Date: 03/30/13 18:33 Re: Copetown Goings-On Author: TheCurator Not one to only photograph power, a few cars I haven't often seen in this area:
4) Internation Bridge & Terminal Company plug-door boxcar. 5) Hmm, CRLE. Michigan Air-Line Railway Company or Utah Central Railway Company? 6) A well-worn SOO Line high-end(?) gondola. Date: 03/30/13 18:43 Re: Copetown Goings-On Author: TheCurator 7) For modellers looking to weather a hopper car.
8) "My scanner reported westbound Train #... with F40ph #... on the south track at ....hrs. Where the heck is it?" 9) "Ahh, there she is!"

Will MacKenzie Dundas, ON Date: 03/31/13 05:09 Re: Copetown Goings-On Author: HAMTURN The depressed center flat had a hydro transformer on it. It was unloaded and carted away by heavy-haul truck about one month ago.

This is where the assist engines out of Bay View would uncouple and cross over to the house track. Then the usual 2-8-2 crew would get orders and wait for a break in traffic before running backwards to Bay View. A lot of fun.
