Canadian Railroads > St Catharines Ontario DoingsDate: 11/18/18 09:44 St Catharines Ontario Doings Author: algoma11 These photos at Merriton ( St Catharines ) the week of Nov 12,2018 Despite horrible weather !
1) CN # 422 2) CN # 422 3) CN # 421 and Trillium Railway Local Mike Bannon St Catharines, ON    Date: 11/18/18 16:17 Re: St Catharines Ontario Doings Author: King_Coal Good to see you're out and chasing trains.
Tell me about photo 1. Neat to see a train with 89' autoparts cars. Where are they coming from? Someone was lamenting the passing of that type of equipment just the other day on the board. Date: 11/19/18 03:57 Re: St Catharines Ontario Doings Author: algoma11 Thats train # 422, its a Buffalo-Mac Yard train. I understand the auto parts cars are for GM Oshawa but someone else might know for sure.
Those slowly becoming ancient 86 ft parts cars are usual on # 422, you see 15-20 on the head end of most 422 trains. A lot of them show built in the 1968-1972 era so I'm wondering why they are allowed to still run. I believe they originate at Tonawanda on CSX.

After it left Merritton, I followed it until it crossed Thorold Townline Rd, between Niagara Falls and Port Robinson. In the first photo, you can see the observation tower and buildings at Niagara Falls, Ontario. November 15, 2018.
Nice to still see the BCR units running around, although they're far from home. Stan Hunyer Fair Oaks, CA    Date: 11/22/18 03:20 Re: St Catharines Ontario Doings Author: algoma11 Nice shots Stan-hope you had a good flight home !
