Hi Mike:

Rob is very interested in Cp and all the back Canadian Pacific info, that I have saved. Yes, I might say I regret keeping records of the passenger consists. CPR's "Glen' series bedroom sleepers were pretty nice. With the "Royal Canadian Pacific" coning starting in May, it will show the travelling public the "Plush & Glory " of Canadian Pacific. This new luxury service; I can see will grow and grow-not like "Macdonald's" service on the major Airlines of today. Cheers- Don Scott "Canadian Pacific-Spanning The World Since The 1880's".

UP in BC
Jim Johnston
Hi Doug:
Thanks for the clarification on how that UP power slipped by me. After Bill Miller's heads up message I checked and saw they were west of Kamloops. Then by Sat. morning they were already back in Golden. I suspect that 6007 with the tie gons you saw was actually the Ashcroft wayfreight returning to Kamloops. I think those VKA, VKB, VKH names you hear on the line-ups are the yard jobs that go west of Kamloops to service the pulp mill at Benledi. Thanks; Jim Johnston Salmon Arm B.C. |

Re: Other road at Lambton?
Paul;
A couple of years ago, when CN was complaining about the hassle of sending a job all the way to leaside to transfer cars to and from CP at Leaside, CN managed to contract the switching for their long haul customer (ADM), at Streetsville. They had no access to ADM. They insisted that CP allow them to bring the transfer to West Toronto, and continue along another 15 miles on CP trackage in order to switch ADM. (The atmosphere was adversary, to say the least, since at the same time, they had marshalled their connections and their prices to succesfully force CP out of the Ford Oakville business for a length of contract term, that would make impossible, the CP's ability to maintain the infrastructure needed to be a viable contract option for Ford at the next negotiation.) CP said no-way. CN then raised legal issues regards the CP Wye at West Toronto involving crossing the CN Georgetown route. The timing was good enough for CP's work permits to lapse, and that is why the wye off of the Mactier sub took an extra year to complete. Obviously CP, being held hostage by Telliers plan, had to give in ,to most of his demands, and today the CN job does its work at Lambton, CP switches ADM, switches the couple of places in back of Leaside that were CN's. The wye was absolutely essential to CP traffic so they tell me. It so happens, that I have read your e-mail on a day that I am preparing a dissenting letter to my International Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers for their statement of support for the CN/BNSF merger. So if you detect some negativity aimed at CN, you got it! Mr. Tellier has now conned my own brotherhood by guaranteeing the safety of jobs in the CN- bnsf (when in fact those jobs were never in jeopardy) but none to any other brother in another property who loses his job as a result of the merger. Wish me luck! Paul Bellis |

joe toole
Go to CP leaside around 3 or 4 pm on a friday. Usually the local
switching Lever Bros. on the Don will show up. Talk to the crew as they are usually parked to confirm their run and then you're off to the bayview bridge for a good shot. If they don't show, try sat. Either way you get good trainwatching at leaside. |

Re: FROM MY RECORDS-TRIP FROM MONCTON, N.B. TO CANADIAN
Greg Williams
Message: 15
Date: Sat, 04 Mar 2000 21:05:09 -0800Thank you Mr. Scott. I am living near Florenceville NB, which would have been part of the North Line (Woodstock Branch) which is now abandoned and has become a ski doo trail. Many of the original bridges still exist and a group in Bristol, NB have preserved some passenger equipment. I have been planning a layout based on this area. I lived for 16 years in Saint John, NB and passed by the old Lancaster Yard everyday on the way to work. This line to Maine is now owned by NB Southern. Your information will be invaluable to me as I build my motive power roster. I have recently taken pictures of the existing Aroostook NB CPR station which I will post on my website.

Re: Something for B.C. guys to watch for .....
Doug Campbell
Sorry this is a little late but I haven't been at the
computer till tonight... Took Friday off work to do some well deserved rail fanning. Checked out the Kamloops yard about 10:00 am and UP 8111 was 2nd unit behind CP 9675 on a coal loaded westbound. Photographed this train from the TCH viewpoint over Kamloops Lake approx 3 miles east of Savona. Train went into the hole to clear for what I think was the VKH. CP6007 (SD40-2) with tie gons and van from the Riverside tie treating plant east of Ashcroft. Instructions from RTC to the 9675 crew was to proceed to Semlin (mi 38.5 Thompson sub) and drop the 8111 with UP 9709 which was already waiting from a previous drop. Comments back to RTC were that the 8111 was only half a unit as it was not putting out all it's power. The two UP units were then picked up at 16:00 by 764 lead by CP9666. 764 was all BC Rail forest products, which I think is the regular consist makeup of this train. Semlin unfortunately is tough to get to as there is limited road access. I think you can get there from a road heading out east from Ashcroft but this may be a private road. You can see the siding from the TCH as you approach Cache Creek from the East. Unfortunately the view is about 5 miles away from the siding but it was intresting as 764 met, I think 409, at Semlin (409 holding the main while 764 pulled the power out of the back track). A 670 empty potash came in behind 764 after they lifted the UP power and to futher jam things up, an empty coal pulled up behind the 670 potash. Semlin siding is 9710' long and it looked as though the 670 had tucked right up behind 764, yet would still be over siding, and the empty coal had snugged up quite close behind the 670 on the main. 764 was cleared first to proceed to Walhachin to meet 401 powered by lone SD9043 9155. The meet was timed perfectly, or so we thought as RTC had to hold 401 at Walhachin because the 670 had to come through in order to get the coal into Semlin siding, and to let the 409 on its way west. 401 resumed west bound after the 670 had cleared the west siding switch Walhachin. It was really amazing to watch the 9155 get out of town easily given that it was the only unit on the train. Chris D. you would have loved the sound. Further note the 764 crew was complaining about their crippled UP power with 8111 only at half power and apparently the 9709 with a broken fuel gauge. To quote the crew, "Lets get these things back across the line before more goes wrong." Anyway it was great to see this semi-jam unfold and was one of the highlights of a very busy day off. Doug PS saw one of the new coal sets at Savona on Friday. LUSX 48-- reporting marks, looks like the Johnstown Aeroflow cars like the PROCOR sets. Very nice with the Turquoise green rotary ends. Built date looked like 02-99. --- Bill Miller <bmiller@...> wrote: UP Dash 9-44CW 9709 and SD90MAC 8111 are floating__________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
