The Canadian Thread - Hi-Res images

Late one night, a CN train idles at a crossing with a few freight cars. Most of the lights are turned off now.

Orders finally come in and the headlights shine once more. Momentarily, the small consist will move out.

Thanks for the comments guys. I do what I can and hope it looks OK. A lot of details need to be added but that will be for later.
I especially like that top shot of the train cresting the hill in your last post Chris.

Cheers,
Jack

Hey, however you attack it, if it works, then it's getting somewhere. It all takes time. I've been working on my route for over a year now, and it's still nowhere close to being done, nor to my liking yet LOL.
Would you believe me if I told you the whole concept that has kept the route in motion is a story of a guy's childhood always involving the railroad somehow? The character, who never mentions his name, is now at college, but he takes the time to reflect on the days that made his childhood a marvelous one. And I therefore, built a route, which you can see those days, and what they looked like through his eyes (More like what I think it looked like based on resources I have. I know nothing about 1990's CN, so what you see is some replica of what I think it may haved looked like. I do know what 1990's UP looked like though, as I lived and grew up in the heyday of it.) (1 season of speech and debate competing at the impromptu category does that to you, along with 1 year as an English major.)
 
I've got lots left to do on my route as well. It'll keep my busy for years. Every time I go over it I find things I don't like but I want to get the basics done and then I'll go back and start touching up. Might be that I'll never get finished. Keeps me out of the wife's hair. 1990's CN isn't really that much different from what it is today. I lived close to the CPR mainline when I was a kid and loved watching the freights roll by. I sure never thought I'd wind up working for the railroad, CN in my case.

Anyway, here's some eastbound coal going downhill towards Hawoods.

Cheers,
Jack
