CSX has a significant amount of track in Quebec.

Goodness, I'd be scared to be cruising along the side of one of those like that.

Here is a better view.

And here is a train in the distance on the same line! (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! )

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!

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.

That is pretty crazy!

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! 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.

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.
