Trains on google street view.

Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

CSX has a significant amount of track in Quebec.

Here is a better view. :cool:

And here is a train in the distance on the same line! :Drool: (Edit: In case you're wondering why I edited this post, for some reason when that link was clicked it would lead to this! I hate it when that happens! :Curse1:)

Excluding light rail/streetcar/tram lines I think these are the first time I've seen a train on a street running line on Streetview! :Blink: :Clap:

Sense they caught two trains here I have to wonder how busy this line is? Typically street running lines aren't that busy, although this wouldn't be the first exception that I know of as the South Shore Line's street running line in Michigan City is pretty busy.

IIRC, that street-running is along an active Norfolk Southern main-line.
They/Them for me, please.

Also, someone needs to get out there and document that crossing.
I'm about 2 hours away from there and my mom is in to do it. So sometime soon we can go over there and get pictures of the crossing.
Sweet! :TUP1: Please make sure to get plenty of pictures!
My mom wants to do it this month. So when I have any dates I will say.
I went over to the crossing yesterday, so I'm gonna upload the photos to Flickr, and post a video of the crossing active on Youtube. The 8" lights are not there anymore. :Cry1:

You can send the pictures to David for the site. You can also send them to me and I can make the pages and send the pages to David.
