    We spent from 5pm-730pm at Denfield bridge, approximately 10 trains we saw, 2 we missed, one was flying under us when we got there.

    CN/CP mains are at the same spot. 45' apart. Action, it will keep ya busy thats for sure.

    It is well worth it, but some of the guys are territorial there. Saw a VW drive up an cuz we were there, he turned around and took off!

    Blake and I were scoping it out for our little May 5th-6th social event, Dave said he wants to see trains. Thats the spot to do it, no piddly yard jobs, just nice fast paced railroading, with 14 passenger trains on CN adding to the fun.

    That'll be cool.
    Usally when I see a fellow railfan, I'll go talk with him or her. Most of the time I end up learnin' something [​IMG]

    Last time I was over there they were using FPA4's :D

    Via has purchased some Brit equipment. The Nightstar that never turned a wheel. I have seen photos, nothing in person, in my eyes, IT SUCKS!
