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.

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?).

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
Pacific". The picture was taken from some distance, but it is interesting.

Hello All

Does anyone know where I could find a picture a picture of a moose or a
bear on the tracks. I am trying to do up a safety poster and have no ideas
of where to look.
thanks,

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
road-the other on CP yards: Spotted CPR "White Caboose" in the 420
number series-lettering in red Canadian Pacific Railway, numbers the
same. Below the windows on the Cupola -In red "Engineering Service".
First one I have seen here. "Looked Good".

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.

I am pleased to announce another SD40-2 has been added to my locomotive
fleet. It is an Overland Models unpainted 5928-5659 series.
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.

Hi all,

I have just created the "Canadian-Passenger-Rail" list at OneList:


This list is a place to discuss all aspects of past, present, and future
passenger rail travel in Canada. This includes all national, regional,
commuter, and tourist rail carriers. Examples include VIA Rail, the
passenger services of Algoma (Wisconsin) Central, Ontario Northland, or BC
Rail, GO Transit, West Coast Express, Rocky Mountaineer Railtours, and
South Simcoe Railway. Others not mentioned here are of course welcome.

Discussions regarding freight movements unrelated to passenger rail should
be posted elsewhere. I suggest the Canadian-Railways list, the C-P-R
list, or the C-N-R list for these topics.

This list will have moderated membership for the purposes of limiting
individuals who violate the guidelines of this list.

Please avoid cross posting to other lists.

Polls are welcome however, please discuss with the list moderator.

Files may be uploades to the files section at


Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact the moderator at
cbase@....

Please feel welcome!
Christian.

&#65279;Greetings

I grew up on the Montreal Lakeshore CPR commuter line (plus CNR Lakeshore
service too for the first few years)and can of course easily confirm that
the CP line was there many, many years before the Toronto GO services.

As I have never had an original thought of my own, I?ll plagiarize from
?CANADIAN PACIFIC?s MONTREAL LAKESHORE COMMUTER SERVICES (Volume One)? by
Ronald S. Ritchie, Published by BRMNA in Calgary.

?In 1884 . . . the fledgling Canadian Pacific . . . inaugurated services
between Montreal as far west as Vaudreuil. By the early 1020's . . . the
idea of year-round residence outside the city was
beginning to take hold. At its peak . . . just before WW2, passengers had a
choice of ten suburban trains in each direction . . . (+) . . . plus another
7 long distance trains . . .?

The trains (about 13 a day) continue today, of course, operated by ?AGENCE
METROPOLITAINE DE TRANSPORT? and in 1999 were still using some 1954/55
vintage ex-CPR FP7A?s (nee-CPR 4040 + 4070 - 4075).

I have some questions with regards to commuter operations past and
present.

I know that CP operated its own commuter rail in Montreal, but did
it ever do so before GO Transit started in Toronto?

Was on a rare jaunt along the CP tracks on the south side of Vancouver
today and noted CP Switcher an ??SW? #1237 and a caboose on a siding!
Paint on the loco looked like new! This is on the Marpole branch! I
always thought they brought the engines down from New West with the
loads did the switching and then headed back.

I know that CP operated its own commuter rail in Montreal, but did
it ever do so before GO Transit started in Toronto? And what about in
other cities, like Vancouver and Calgary and such?

The only other city I can think of for relatively recent times would be on
the Toronto line towards Peterboro. These trains could be _used_ for
commuting, but were not strictly set up for commuter service.
Before the fifties for possible other cities, well there Im in the dark.
