what is your 10-20

Sin City, on the UP, LA&SL route.

Johnstown, Ontario…

right at MP 110 on CN’s Kingston Subdivision (VIA’s Quebec City- Windsor Corridor)

I should add to this…I’m currently studying at St.FX University in Antigonish Nova Scotia…not great railfanning, especially since VIA cancelled the Bras D’Or…but I can see the Cape Breton and Central Nova Scotia Railway’s line from my window…the CB&CNS often runs one train in each direction each day through town.

It’s quite a change from the 30-40 + CN and VIA trains that run past my house every day at home…

Hello to Antigonowhere from Berwick in the balmy Annapolis Valley. At least you have trains to watch…

Northern New Jersey here, home of the changing rail scene.

true…I do feel fortunate to at least have the occasional one…still, compared to living next to the country’s busiest corridor, well, it’s just a bit of a shock (a sort of withdrawal perhaps?)

Hanford, Ca. Half a mile from San Joaquin Valley Railroad’s Huron line and 500 ft from BNSF’s Bakersfield Sub. My advatar pic was taken from my front yard.[:D]

Rotterdam, the Netherlands. I have a good view of the Rotterdam - Dordrecht 4 track mainline in leafless season (can’t call it winter in these globally warmed days and calling it an extended autumn makes me shiver from all the rain). Plenty of passenger trains, too numerous to mention here. Freigth traffic is good too, for as long as it lasts (more and more trains go via the new Betuweroute to Germany). There are paths in the timetable for 2 freight trains an hour in each direction going to or coming from the largest harbor after some Asian ones. Mostly containers, 6 loaded coal trains, some mixed freigth, unit grain trains, steel and increasingly tankcars. What actually moves at what times seems te be mostly on a first come first served basis, not to mention the influence of troubles at the borderstations or track problems.

greetings,

Petitcodiac New Brunswick, about 30 minutes west of Moncton on the CN line to Saint John.[:D]


Orono Maine, 1 mile from the Pan Am Railways main line to Mattawamkeag and probably 20 minutes from the MM&A At Northern Maine Junction. My home however is in Norway Maine, 2 miles from the St. Lawrence & Atlantic railroad. If I’m lucky I can see 6 trains in one day but I have to hunt for them mostly because I live in the dark ages of Form D’s… However me and the pops have managed to venture outside our nice corner of no where to real railroads so I’ve had my fill of mainline action. =)

Mocksville,North Carolina 30min from NS Linwood Yard

Hey I’m about 5000 feet from the UP Alhambra subdivision

Yuma, AZ along the old SP Sunset Route.

Stockton Ca and its six RRs UP, BNSF,ST&E,Amtrak,ACE and PofS. And how many citys besides Stockton have two active Amtrak stations and a third station that still stands although no tracks pass it.

Memphis,TN i live about 1 mile from NS and about 4 from BNSF’s Tennessee yard at the beginning of the Birmingham Sub. If you go downtown you will see BNSF, CSX, NS, UP, CN, and Amtraks City of New Orleans. Also R.J. Corman was given BNSF’s industry jobs so they switch cars right by my work a nice treat to see GP7’s and 9’s still running around! Especially when your on break at work!

Just another message from Dinkelsbühl, Germany, located on the Imperial City Branch. The local railroad museum ran a steam special over Easter, and since we had a lot of snow on the ground, it was quite a show. The link below is a short video of a run-by! Enjoy!
