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 .

An exciting question for those with vision for the future of the largest piece of land situated in the heart of the city.

Caboose Coffee

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.

This is such an interesting and informative site. I am learning a lot. These two posts are of particular interest to me at the moment:
