Canadian Railroads > On-Track Brush CuttersDate: 01/01/25 15:43 On-Track Brush Cutters Author: poshell I'm new to TO and slowly going through the posts and pics (especially MoW Work Equipment).
Saw this post Change of Pace - MoW Monday. and thought I'd add to it with some pics of my own. (Your shots of the brush cutter at Copetown are great. Thanks for snapping all four sides.) CN 689-19 Class Code 3HA is a Pyke Mfg. model BC 60 on-track brushcutter, serial number 8613, built in 1986 at the Pyke plant in Oshawa, ON. It was delivered new to CN at their Danforth Work Equipment shop in Toronto, ON September 30, 1986.https://cdn.trainorders.com/attachments/fullsize/1825000/CN_689_19_3HA_Pyke_BC_60_on_flat_car_CN_40250_Transcona_MB_December_11_2002_Paul_O_Shell_photo_6773798aab311.jpg Date: 01/01/25 16:05 Re: On-Track Brush Cutters Author: feclark That post predates my arrival on TO, so it was nice to be directed back to it. I recall an episode on CP's Winchester Sub in the late 80s, when some enthusiastic employee took out some cables and the signal system was down.
