Re: the interesting steel traffic, I think some of this is dragged into Taschereau and re-blocked, and maybe sent through the US. May also have to do with economic slowdown, not as much being shipped? I miss seeing 320/321, as I don't find trilevels/intermodal nearly as interesting. Trains on the Kingston Sub are longer and there are fewer than even a year or two ago.<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-27419853302859050402010-05-03T12:42:05.706-04:002010-05-03T12:42:05.706-04:00Ah, I hadn't noticed that.

Quebec paper/lumber traffic. I guess these were folded into 371/372? Which train takes the blocks of gons and steel traffic that 320/321 used to carry?<br /><br />-BryanBryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-83338884963714627642010-05-01T20:52:49.801-04:002010-05-01T20:52:49.801-04:00I was just there on Thursday, a beautiful day I mi...I was just there on Thursday, a beautiful day I might add. I took mostly video and a few pictures. I may go back tomorrow depending on the weather. I'm also thinking of checking out the Queens area where it switches from 2 rails to 4. A great prospect for good shots!<br /><br />There was a fellow roughly around my age using some heavy machinery to piles some ties into the hoppers.

Thanks for your comment...Hi Bryan, Elijah and Adam. Thanks for your comments. Train No 371 has been running since April 2008, as required or on weekends (see sidebar). This post wasn't as retro as most, taking the pulse of the Kingston Sub. Adam, make sure you get some photos of the tie hoppers at the top of the Cat Spur.<br />EricErichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11822288099043790296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-4116897517911749312010-05-01T18:57:09.501-04:002010-05-01T18:57:09.501-04:00Fantastic pictures!

I'm sure it'll be more interesting out on the lines when those Dash-8s get here!Zartok-35https://www.blogger.com/profile/00449976580118722879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-372955869775302424.post-83620992089115841872010-04-30T14:02:02.797-04:002010-04-30T14:02:02.797-04:00Hi,
