Winnipeg, Manitoba about 1 km west of the CP Rail Winnipeg Beach sub and 5 km north of the Weston yards.
North of both of you in Oshkosh, WI. If I spend much more time in NFDL taking pics of trains at the yard I might have to change my address.
I live in Middleton WI, which acording to Money magazine is the Best place to live in America!!!
And since some would say that America is the best place to live in the world, that means I live in the best city in the world!!![;)]

All great places to watch trains go by
I live in Dinkelsbühl, a small, lovely medieval town in the province of Central Franconia, Bavaria, Germany. The 52.4 km long Imperial City Branch line runs through town. It connects the main line running from Nuremberg to points West and the Augsburg-Stuttgart main. Unfortunately, daily freight traffic only serves customers at the northern and southern ends of the line, which are switched from the respective mains, leaving a big chunk of the railroad unused. Except, of course, in the Summer, when the Bavarian Railroad Museum of Nördlingen runs steam excursions. If you’re interested, you can check out the Web-site at:

P.S. The picture at left shows a vintage DMU departing the Dinkelsbühl depot.
Red wing MN great railfaning spot CP on one side of the river and BNSF on the other[:)]
