Dave,
I knew you would do that to make me be clear.
I mean the one you posted with the small switcher and the Amtrak loco.
What is the switcher and to whom does it belong?

The original is Lucas' picture. I believe that he said that the small GE switcher was part of the Greenfield Village collection where Jake works.

Thanks Dave.

What does the 41 sign indicate?
In the distance behind that sign is a pole with what seems to be an antenna.
If so, do you know what it is for?

[Tom Dempsey]

My guess would be mile post 41.

[rogruth]

My guess would be mile post 41.

That would also be mine. But I don't know.

[ogauge47]

Yep, its milepost 41 on the CN/GTW Shoreline Subdivision

I spent the good part of the afternoon in Windsor, Ontario to shoot the Essex Terminal Railway and other Canada-only goodies

Essex Terminal 107 pulling cars from the CP interchange





Crossing over the CP Detroit-Windsor tunnel



Via passenger train departing Windsor



CN 'Spirit of Windsor' on the Detroit River



Essex Terminal 107 at Ojibway Yard



105 working the other end of the yard



CN power at CN's Van de Water Yard




CN GP9RM and slug





CP switching CP's City Yard



So apparently a CP police car had it's keys locked inside so a locksmith had to come to unlock the vehicle



Essex Terminal headquarters



Via at the Windsor station. The Renaissance Center can be seen in the background



Essex Terminal running light from CN Van de Water yard



And then I headed back into Detroit
