Bill, How about the CNR conductor walking down the aisle of a passenger coach being stopped by a lady passenger. "Oh Conductor, I was just wondering; what do the stars and bars on the sleeve of your uniform jacket mean?" "Well, ma am," answered the conductor, "the stars are the number of times I've been married, and the bars are the number of children I have." "Oh, my." exclaimed the lady. "Why, what's the matter," asked the conductor. "Well, I couldn't help noticing that you're brakeman is of very loose morals." "What on earth makes you say that," asked the conductor. "Well', answered the lady, "I see he has three children, and he's never been married.' Gary |

Yes the 3000-3020 are all AC. 3017 to 3019 are SOO Line and the 3004 is E&N Railfrieght.

I saw 3005 just a while back in Vancouver and it didn't look at all in need of paint. The things look better than the 1 year old AC4400CWs.

Re: CP trains through Bayview
Through the entire vicinity that's usually referred to
as Bayview (The CP Hamilton sub and the trackage rights on CN's Oakville sub) there are many CP trains through the primarily CN area... 441 To Toronto Via Oakville sub 521 " " 523 " " 525 " " 557 " " 733 " " 735 " " 911 Northbound via Hamilton sub 440 Southbound via Hamilton sub 512 " " 522 " " 558 " " 730 " " 734 " " 912 " " Then there are the two semi-regular 504-505 Detours which travel up the Dundas sub and onward to Chicago Via CN... 440/441 are recent additions, I know they originate and terminate in Winnipeg, but other than that I'm in the dark. 512 is also a recent addition to avoid congestion at Montreal apparently. ===== Paul Hammond Merritton, CN Grimsby Subdivision St. Caterines, Ontario Canada rlk1752@... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Gentlemen, it hasn't been there for a while now. I was through there a couple months back on a dealer transfer, and it wasn't there. The F7B, and the H-16-44 weren't there either. Does anyone know where they may be at?
