Eastern Railroad Discussion > Where-is-it?

OK, gang, I know everybody's been waiting for me to put one of these up (maybe). Here goes!

Extra bonus points for train symbol.

Just east of Tilbury, Ontario. You are basically directly across from the CN Caso Wigwags at MP 184.9. You should be at mp 79.13 facing east, shooting the King & White Drain, at Monpetit Rd.

Here is 2 shots from north of the mainline.

Obviously you know a lot more about this spot than I do. I'd have given credit for "first curve east of Tilbury".

Follow-up questions:

1) Symbol?
2) Wigwags?!?

Nova Scotia?

1 - Have now clue, since that unit was on 889-801 on Saturday night/Early Sunday morning, and swaped with 9773. But it could be CP 137 or CP 147.

2 - Here is a few shots from that spot with the wig-wags

Thanks for the wigwag info! Makes me wonder if there are any other wigwags left in Canada.

Train in my where-is-it was CP#147, arriving Windsor on 1/30/06. Photo scanned from a slide.
