Canadian Railroads > Railfanning EdmontonDate: 05/16/23 18:58 Railfanning Edmonton Author: steveandrews Hi all,
I will be in Edmonton, AB at the beginning of June for 4 days. Can anyone suggest good Railfanning places? Many thanks, Steve Steve Andrews Ames, IA Date: 05/17/23 09:41 Re: Railfanning Edmonton Author: fredstoltz A good place is just east of CN Cloverbar Yard. Good spot. Fred
Date: 05/17/23 12:16 Re: Railfanning Edmonton Author: LKeithR We had a daughter who lived in Edmonton for about 12 years so for a while I got to spend quite a bit of time
there. Last time I tried railfanning the east end of Clover Bar I got hassled pretty good by CN employees. They tried to tell me that I couldn't park anywhere along the road (17th Street Northeast). I'm sure I could have stood my ground but I had my wife with me and didn't need any hassles. Our daughter lived in Gold Bar so it was easy to get to the west end of Clover Bar. A quick run east on Baseline Road and north on 17th Street Northwest to Hayter Road puts you in the middle of a lot of train activity. Lots of safe places to park as well. If you're going to be on the other end of town I don't have so much help. Clover Bar was so close and so good that I seldom ventured too far from it. There are lots of places where you can get to the tracks though. With a good map and some patience you can find lots of activity. Edmonton is a great place to railfan...

Parking is a bit tricky but after several visits never had a police issue! Light is good on the east side most of the day! Here is one shot. ![]() Date: 05/18/23 13:08 Re: Railfanning Edmonton Author: steveandrews Thanks everyone for the great info
