Wayne,

Great to have the lineups back!

Looks like CP axed a couple more westbounds during the last couple of
months, no more 407 or 431?

Am looking forward to the rest of your site getting back up to speed, I
check it out every day.

Hi James,

From UCOR(1962):
19. MARKERS
The following signals will be displayed to the rear of every tarin to
indicate the rear of the train:
(1) by day, markers not lighted.
(2) by night:
On single track and when running with the current of traffic on 2 tracks,
markers lighted displaying red to the rear.
On 2 tracks, when standing or running against the current of traffic,
markers lighted displaying red to the rear on the outside and green to the
rear between tracks.
...
When a train is clear of the main track to be passed by another train,
lighted markers will display green to the rear.
...
EXCEPTION: The requirement that markers display green to the rear when clear
of main track does not apply in CTC.

19A. A train not equipped to display markers as prescibed by Rule 19 will
display a red flag by day and a red light by night to indicate the rear. The
red light will be replaced by a white light when train is clear of main track.

----
2 red and 2 green l;enses in lamps shoulde the case.

Hello all,

I'm looking for some information regarding cabooses and marker lights
here
in Canada, specifically, what do the red and green lights that can be
displayed to the rear of the train signify, and what colour flags
could be
flown from the van (and why?).

Here's the scoop... I'll be working for a few weeks living in a
caboose, and
I'd like to know what signals would properly be displayed in the days
before
electronic tail-end devices. Our caboose is LNAL 076 (nee CP 434547),
and
today I replaced the ditch lights, marker lights, etc and made sure we
had
clean windows before heading off to the USA.

Anyways, any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
J.

James,

The caboose markers had one red lens, and all the others were green.
When a train or any part of the train was occupying the mainline, the
markers displayed red to the rear. When a train was clear of the
mainline to be passed by another train, the markers could be swiveled to
display green to the rear.

If a following train observed green markers on a train ahead, they could
breath easy. If they were approaching a train displaying red markers,
that was another story.

Markers also indicated the rear of a train. If you were meeting a train
on single track, and the tail end went by without markers, you couldn't
proceed because the train wasn't complete. This was very important,
especially in areas with heavy grades. Sometimes the train passing only
had half his train and was doubling the hill. If you proceeded without
seeing his markers, you could run into the second half of his train.

The only time flags were used was if you couldn't display markers for
some reason. A red flag or red light also indicated the rear of a train.
This was quite common when, for whatever reason, you were handling cars
behind the caboose. Freight cars had no brackets for hanging markers. In
that case the markers had to be taken down from the caboose and a red
flag by day, or a red light by night had to be displayed on the last
car.

Any more news of the Canada Southern sale yet?? It would not be in
CN's interest to sell it to CP. I'd say it will never happen. Besides
the existing track would need a lot of work. Sadly it looks like
another Trans Canada Trail around the corner. We all would love to
see trains roll by Waterford Sta. again.

I have made some additions to my website: www.trainweb.org/cprmodeling
that I think will benefit all visitors.

NEW!!! Please visit the gallery to see the latest additions. Pictures by Ian
Garton of the Royal Hudson in British Columbia, the restoration of CPR 2816
and a collection of articles from Canadian Pacific's Spanner magazine.

NEW!!! Please check out the resources page for new links, better
organization and an all Canadian all Rail search engine!

NEW!!! If you are into railroad E-Passes please visit the E-PASS page. And
if you don't collect E-Passes come and take a ride on some fine web
railroads!

NEW!!! Additions to the projects page. Read and see the efforts of Gavin
Rees

Be on the lookout for more additions next month!!!

Hi James,
As I recall, there would be on the marker light, two or three red lenses and
one green lens. If I can recall clearly, when a train enters a siding and
waits for the other train tto clear the mainline, and the switch is thrown
for the mainline, the marker lights would be displayed in such a way that
the red lenses would face to the rear of the caboose and to the side, the
green lens would face the front of the train, and thus the towards the
approaching train, signifying that the switch is thrown and he is clear to
proceed. Anyone else have another senario in mind? Would like to hear the
other uses.

Hi Guys:

Sorry to report this but I have it on good authority that the 9300 and 9301 came off that 351 train in Revelstoke and will head back east (presumably to Winnipeg?) on a No. 998.

Those of us west of Revelstoke will just have to hope they come through on their next trip!

Hello all,

I know that this system is becoming very commonly used in the US. I am
not sure if it has been in Canada. But either way I would like to know, that
if a territory has "In-Cab Signals", are signals still used on the ground.
Also what equipment is there needed on the ground for sending the
information to the cab of the locomotive.
My reason for asking is I am modeling an imaginary rail corridor, and am
at the point where I should add signals, however I would rather spend the
money on locomotives, rolling stock and scenery. Plus electrical work
bothers me, except for installing DCC decoders.. :) Grin!

Thanks,
Jason

PS Sorry for crossposting however it does fit with both CN and CP lists, and
I model both roads.

Hello CPR-One List Members.

As usual always get a phone call regarding latest News-on CP.

Here Goes:

CP's new High-Horsepower SD-90 (6,000HP) units 9300-9301 on Train
#35-101 with Business cars departed Westbound from Golden, B.C. at
approximately 1430PST, and supposed to be enroute to Vancouver, so
presume due here March 2, ETA presently unknown.

Any reports yet on how the tests are going? ie: Any signs of the overheating
problems the H engine has been experiencing?

There is a long shot of a bear running up the tracks in Morant's "Canadian

Equipment Spottings Outside Car Shop-Port Coquitlam, B.C. March 1, 2000

Drove by CP's Port Coquitlam car shop this morning-one eye on the

First one I have seen here. "Looked Good".

I am pleased to announce another SD40-2 has been added to my locomotive

I figure that the multi-mark will look good on it. This brings the total to
eleven SD40-2's.

This unit is seen regularly Monday-Friday on the Arbutus sub, switching the
Molson Brewery. Before Christmas 1239 was used while 1237 was being
repaired. Apparently CP is planning to use beltpack GP-9u units on this
job. On at least two occasions I have seen GP-38AC units on test runs on
the Arbutus sub, so perhaps we will see these units here as well.
