Took a look through AC caboose images I have and can’t find anything definitive, but general memories say that the usual caboose storage was NORTH of the enginehouse. Consider this approach to ‘train

I believe there was a double-ended track off the main track near the south-west corner of the diesel shop, near the fuel tanks and scale track. Chris van der Heide http://vanderheide.ca/

I think (if this turns out correctly) that the caboose tracks were just about dead centre of this google image linked. From our front porch (Hudson Street (Carman's Way) you could look out the south p

Hi I didn't start visiting Steelton until the early 90's. While there were still vans around, my memory fails me as to where in the yard the in-service vans were stored; not the ones that were for wor

Hi. Recently announce from Intermountain is an undecorrated Canadain version of the SD40-2 in n scale (see bottom right of CVR Co. flyer): http://cvrco.com/images/Intermountain/835-nsd4022.jpg http://

Well that's interesting. Every later photo of GP7 and GP9 units shows grey fans though, so clearly although they were happy to have the factory paint it that way, the ACR's own shops didn't bother to

This is the other shot Blair was referring to, and also the one I was thinking of: http://algomacentral.railfan.net/images/AlgoCenRy/182S_6.jpg from http://algomacentral.railfan.net/182_history.htm Ch

A friend found photos of the Bowser ACR SD40-2 on Facebook. I can't credit them because I don't know who took them. But I'm really glad he did. I've created an album of them. Click on "Photos". Ken

"I think Charls should not be alone in trying to advise Bowser. We need to step up." Agreed. I re-sent my earlier email with comments to try to make sure it was received OK. Chris vanderHeide

Charls Gendron of Ottawa has put out an appeal for roof shots of the ACR SD40-2 units. He says he is helping Bowser fine tune their paint scheme for the upcoming release of their models. At the Spring

Specifically the 52' General gon set is actually good for the 900-924 series coil steel gons - the return routing detail is included and the set has the more rounded font on these cars compared to the

Bill dose some very nice work. Bill is doing a set for me so I can finish ACR 505. James Brookman

Hi folks I just received sets of decals for ACR Bulkhead Gons, Woodchip Gons, and General Gons. Very Nice quality indeed. They're available from Precision Design Company: http://pdc.ca/rr/catalog They

I'm just back from Trainfest in Milwaukee and probably the most exciting news for me was the display at the Bowser booth showing a photo of a CP straight SD40 with the title "GMD SD40". I confirmed th

Yep, still waiting for that SD40-2 run. I picked up several of the Atlas AC GP38-2s for re-detailing; I figure even if I have to end up repainting the things completely instead of being able to touch

Photo date is actually mid-1990s. All of the hopper cars in evidence are the modern 1970s NSC built cars; there's some minor track arrangement changes at the very bottom edge compared to older 1950s/6

With regard to this photo, and similar on the sinter plant pages of that website: http://www.michiwawa.ca/images/algoma%20ore/sinter_plant/plant_058.jpg I'm trying to identify the basic operations on
