Great video: Area H spur being worked

Here's a great YouTube video showing the top end of Area H spur being worked by CP crew:


 

The YouTuber here is CitySlicker.

He shoots a lot of great Toronto-area railroad videos. He also has a very good flickr site.

Chances are if there's a strong photo at the top of my blog showing Area H or Canpa switching, it's a photo link to his flickr!

I realize there's been more prototype material than model material here lately.

I've haven't been able to get to the layout. Progress there has very much been slow motion I'm afraid.

I've not given up on the project however. I'm hoping to post part II of the Hymopak structure build soon.

In the meantime, enjoy this video.

As always, I welcome your comments.

New Korex photos

Here a trackmobile is coupled to a covered hopper. 

I was in the neighbourhood over the weekend and using a long lens from a parking lot was able to snap some pictures of rolling stock on the spurs at Korex.

I wrote about modelling this industry in this post.  Some of the research about the industry I put here.

Here's a wide shot of the same hopper. Graffiti artists can't seem to resist the white canvas of these cars.

Another rusty hopper on one of four tracks that serve Korex.
