Good thing the sedan and the trucks got out of the way of the dockside switcher especially because the crossing the switcher went on did not have any warning lights and gates, whereas the other one did have lights and gates.

Indeed you nade interesting point. Like why didn't the road didn't get flagged if protection are know not to activate from those tracks. It's a bit odd.

Great video. How often does this train make these pick up/ drop offs? We are thinking of going out that way for a road trip to video trains but I mean it's a fairly long haul from Kitchener to Welland. Your video from our that way looks as though I can get out of the car and video from my wheelchair as there seems to be a lot of paved areas.

[@Trains4Fun]

I have to tell you. When i go out railfanning in the Welland area I drive through this area almost everytime. Like probably 100 times already and this was my first time I ever seen this train move. First it was like I notice a couple things differently then usual and that was the car park out in front of the open gates and also 108 had it's light on. While this was a nice catch for us. It's not something you would likely see working, but we caught this right around 3pm in case you are wondering. Also I'm not sure what constitute wheel chair friendly, but their no sidewalks on either side, but the road is paved. Good Luck!!

@@Trains4Fun paved roads are fine, I mean I don't need a smooth mall surface to get out of the car but a mall surface is awesome for doing laps and dodging other able bodied folk scramble to get out of the way.

@@Phantom-Signal Mall paved roads. Haha that would be something, but just watch out for construction in the area at the moment. More then usual amount of big trucks are roaming through area. When are you planning your road trip to Welland?

@@Trains4Fun I have to sort out when the wifey has days off. She drives bus for GRT so we have to plan it. I can let you know when I know. Maybe we can meet up lol

Cool. And yea the tube spur is CP, you’ll notice the West Welland Industrial Lead (Vesuvius Spur) is owned and maintained by CP too as it’s also apart of the CASO, Lines up on the map with the tube spur.

[@Trains4Fun]

I get confused by this subject, because it sounds like the CASO was a shared adventure with CN and CP and then CN gave it up to CP at some point in time. Is that an accurate assessment?

[@matt10727]

@@Trains4Fun correct yes but in the Niagara Area, CP bought it all out changing every portion of the former CASO to CP
