Canadian Railroads > 10 years ago on this day, flora,fauna, foamers red whitDate: 03/02/15 03:03 10 years ago on this day, flora,fauna, foamers red whit Author: hoggerdoug March 2, 2005, meet and greet Potter turn. It would appear that spring has come early, very little snow in the images. Three images of the 4653 and 4648 at Exeter BC, running south.
   Date: 03/02/15 03:05 Re: 10 years ago on this day, flora,fauna, foamers red Author: hoggerdoug images again at Exeter on the northward portion of the trip. We were doing some work, setout or pickup.

Two Trainorder members at Exeter, identities concealed 2 moose near Enterprise, had one running along below the cab window, too slow on the camera missed the shot those darn foamers again at Onward, that XXL red jacket sure stands out, glad he wasn't closer to the track, perhaps mistaken for a red flag.

  Date: 03/03/15 01:24 Re: 10 years ago on this day, flora,fauna, foamers red Author: rschonfelder Doug, just on that point you made about the fellow wearing a red jacket while railfanning. Wearing anything red near the tracks is severely frowned upon by railroaders in both New Zealand and Australia. Obviously they cannot do anything about a citizen waiting at a pedestrian crossing but Foamers (called Guensels down here) are not received favourably anywhere near railroad property if they do that. Don't bother asking for information or favours.
Anything red seen, means stop for them. This includes Guensels chasing trains. Rick Date: 03/03/15 04:44 Re: 10 years ago on this day, flora,fauna, foamers red Author: hoggerdoug trkinsptr Wrote:
