Northern NB on National Train Day

I completely forgot that it was National Train Day on Saturday. I went up to Grand Falls & Edmundston to catch a few trains. It turned out to be one of my better trips up there, and I didn't even get any trestle shots.

Videos and details will be posted later.

The Friendly Engineer

A buddy of mine & fellow railfan was doing his Engineers training on 406 the last couple of days. Here's a video of his train, CN 406 east, heading through Rothesay, mile 78.46 on the CN Sussex Subdivision.

New SD70M-2 sighting

I guess my plans to keep up with posting here have fallen by the wayside.

Ok, here's my new years resolution...starting....now!

Last Wednesday, I found out that two SD70M-2's and a dash 9 will be on the Moncton-Saint John train 406. One of the SD70M-2's was brand new 8884. I decided after work to venture out and capture it at a few locations.

The first was at Rothesay, NB, and about 13 miles up the line at Hampton, NB.

New Year, New Post

Oh..

I suppose I should do a post. It's been a few months, plus it's a new year. This will be one of my new years resolutions, to post more in the good old blog.

After receiving some gift cards from Futureshop, I ventured out and bought a brand new camera.

Mine is an SD10, but I can't see any difference between the 10 and the 20. Plus, due to the Boxing Day sale, it was pretty much half price. I just had to...I just had to.

Here is the second video that I shot with it. The first one didn't turn out the way I wanted to, so I won't post it.



What do you think? So far, I think it's worth the money, especially 50% off. There's still some browsing around and work which needs to be done, but I like it so far.

Happy New Year to my loyal readers reader.
