Canadian Railway Observation
CRO had this current picture of the Mattawa Station in the final stages of its life.
The railway removal train is picking up a fresh crew for the trip east to the Chalk River Sub , where the rail is being pulled out of the bed for good.
The CRO site is an interesting page that puts up photos with a question soliciting your opinions. Railfans may like to visit .

There can never be enough talk and tales for railway readers and fans. A visit from this blogger led me to his blog. Caboose Coffee
I like the fact that this is 'one mans story' . It is not officious or over taxing. Just one voice. His views,opinions and stories. All adding to the picture of what everyday life is like for rail people.
Do stop by for a visit. I intend following this one.
