Just back this weekend from my annual fishing trip up in Canada. Managed to catch a few trains on the way up and back. The Canadian Pacific runs through White River, Ontario, which is where I caught the following train in the midst of a crew change. Of course I went to Canada and saw trains without any Canadian power on them
.
There were several other trains earlier in the day, but I wasn't in a position to get photos at the time.
On the way back, I caught two CN trains passing in Hornepayne, which is about 60 miles NNE of White River. Again, no pictures. Regrettably, my fishing partner isn't a train fan per se, and while understanding of my interest, is too impatient to get home to let me wander around much.
Regarding some of the recent commentary concerning center partition (centerbeam) flats, I think the chronology is Opera window (manufactured by Thrall in multiple lengths), then the type with the wide panels at the ends, to the current variation with a single narrow panel or no panels at the ends. The type with the single narrow panel is made by National Steel Car (NSC) of Canada, and I'd argue is the most ubiquitous type found today. Gunderson also makes a car which is very common. It's similar in many ways to the NSC car, but without a panel at the end. The angle of the last diagonal brace is different as it strikes the bulkhead about half way up, rather than at the top. Also, the lifting lugs located in the bulkheads are higher on the Gunderson car. A third manufacturer is American Railcar Industries (ARI - apparently just recently absorbed by Gunderson). These cars are not as common in my experience as the Gunderson and NSC cars. I don't remember the last time I caught one empty to try and pick out nuances to differentiate it from the others, so I can't list any at this point. The vast majority of modern cars are 73'-0" length, so one of the longer common cars in service today.
As to whether there's any interest in detail shots of trucks and the like, I'd say yeah, I'm interested
. In progress.....
