This past weekend I was up in Sudbury and of course, I spent most of my time foaming. I've sorted through my photos and decided that there's too many to post in the Railroad POTD thread. So, I'd like to share all of these with you, fellow rail nuts!

Interesting photos. Looks like...OVR is still borrowing CN units, one of the CP Genset locomotives is working up in Sudbury (the other is currently in Oshawa) and the rare VIA RDC4 is alive and well.
Keep it fuzzy. |

There are 3 Budd RDC's in service here on Vancouver Island. One is on the mainland, heading east for a new refit/engine. One is privately owned.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too! |

VIA used to have the weird Buffet cars on the Island Service, right SteamPunk?

Thanks! All I know is that the Budd car was coming from Chapleau to Sudbury. No idea where it went after that.

What was the guy in pics 4 and 5 doing?
He who rules the underground, rules the city above.

My guess is that he was throwing switches as this train left the yard.

Ahh. I saw his hand on a boxcar. I was trying to figure out if he was maybe checking a door or something.

You guys may already know this but the Budd plant in Philly was abandoned for awhile and still might be. My wife takes the PATCO trains from NJ into Philly and their entire fleet is those same Budd cars.
