RAILREEL CN 4770 Burford Sub Street Running Brantford Ont. 4-25-2012

[@LuFeDuTi]

Thanks For Taking that video of one of the Brantford Places in Ontario Canada it made me want to do that little Place and a CN GP38-2W in 3D

[@railpast]

Ended a number of years ago, now serviced by a trackmobile.

1:00, the train looks as though it is teetering and tottering but looks really neat at 2:37. It must be fun living in those houses. But then look at 4:00👍.

[@railpast]

It was fun chasing it but trains no longer run there. Ingenia bought the line and now use a trackmobile. :-(

[@JawTooth]

that was really cool!

[@railpast]

Thanks

[@tomok8283]

Excellent video Walter! It was worth the wait! $4.00 to get in! You can't go wrong there! I wonder what scale the B&O F7A and the steam locomotive were?! They are big! Very appropriate to have a freight train sound in a train show! As long as it's not going through the building!

[@markgorney4268]

The graffiti on the bridge says "I Luv U".

[@railpast]

CN track Foreman who looks after it. :-) S.C.Johstons hasn't had a single car in about 4 months, and there's serious talk that Ingenia is going to off load their covered hoppers to trucks inside Brantford yard. I will let you and everyone else know as soon as I hear more. The city of Brantford will sure be happy, they have wanted that track tore up for years.

[@railpast]

Just rebuilt that line.

[@careyleroux3784]

Great video. Thank you kindly.

[@railpast]

Thanks for looking.

[@railpast]

Not sure, but soon. Better get them while you can.

[@wastemanagementfan1161]

in another railfans video the crew tried to start this locomotive but the batteries were dead

[@johnmoar7658]

leave the rail alone ,this belongs to all of us

[@railpast]

In some case, this track is now privately owned by Ingenia.

[@budelaska2202]

the train riding up the side of Clarence St. is like that bratty kid who rides his bike on the sidewalk even after he's been scolded not to do so!

[@railpast]

Too bad all gone. Only a trackmobile hauling a few cars once a week. :-(

[@leifjenkinson4039]

Does make you wonder how bad track can get before they can't use it.

[@KandiKlover]

They do basic maintenance before it does.

[@Nathanrailfan]

First time seeing no GP9rm.

[@alansklenar2848]

Thanks for the info

[@railpast]

Thanks for looking

[@robertgift]

Fun video! Thank you for sharing it. 2:08 Why are the mee-mool lights *(o)T(o)* on the wrong side of the track?

[@railpast]

Not sure what you mean.

[@robertgift]

Normally, mee-mool lights *(o)T(o)* are on the right side _before_ the crossing.From the approaching driver's perspective, *(o)T(o)* are after crossing the track.

[@jameseaton1286]

There's no requirement to have them on the near side of the tracks, as you're suggesting, as long as they're visible from both sides of the tracks - and one post is cheaper than two. Double-sided crossing light poles, such as these, are very common in Canada. You seem again at 4:30

[@robertgift]

@@jameseaton1286 Thank you. Most mee-mool lights *(o)T(o)* are double-sided. Exceptions are one way streets where no lamps face the wrong direction. As an Operation Lifesaver presenter, manyears ago I suggested that *RAILROAD CROSSING* crossbuck signs have *RAILROAD CROSSING* printed on both sides. Normally printed on.e side. Now I am seeing them on BOTH sides!

[@Joe-d7m6k]

What the heck is a MEE--- MOL light--- 66 years old, never heard that term before??????

[@HamiltonTrainMan]

Where did u get the info that the burford spur was being closed down?

[@alansklenar2848]

Sorry the train tracks in it's own right of way is not street running

[@railpast]

Close enough but where they turn at the end of the street they are definitely in the middle of the street. :-)

[@KandiKlover]

@@railpast still it's own right of way.

[@railpast]

@@KandiKlover picky picky :-)

[@chickdavis8308]

That was 6 years ago. They still use those tracks?

[@railpast]

Yes but tracks owned by Ingenia Polymers and they are presently using a trackmobile. :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZjVf55qobCneMU

[@Trains4Fun]

Wow very close beside to the train in that 3 video segment. So what is the story on these rails. Are they still in used now? Just no longer being serviced by CN no longer I gather from other comments on Brantford rails videos.

[@Trains4Fun]

TheBrantfordRailfan Yes BrantfordRailfan you read my mind. I was hoping to get some specific times, but with the schedule having such uncertainty. I'll probably have to pass on this line due to limited spare time and financial cost of driving out to Brantford my not be worth the effort. However I still enjoy watching these trains make their way through Brantford!! Great videos indeed.

[@TheAdamRides]

GP40-2W??

[@Cnw8701]

R.I.P Burford Sub!

[@railpast]

Thanks

[@DarkBlueDragon92]

Ahhh that sucks so much that there getting rid of it! I blame those damned trucks =/

[@TheActualKingOfRailfanning]

Does this line still run

[@jacksonjames6133]

Not right now but the tracks haven't been removed. they might be eventually removed though.

[@johnmoar7658]

great,weneed it in the future [grobal warming] fuel,lines should be left in the ground and urbin sprawl would be disasasies for them [access] and if gavin up ,should be gavin to goverment control,rail bank, this should be complusary,also TRUCKS will disapear

[@crlaw75]

Looks like you got told at 5:39.

[@railpast]

Not sure what you mean., crew were friendly.

[@crlaw75]

I thought they told you to get off the tracks or the train was too close to your camera.

[@railpast]

Camera was a long way from the train. I had it zoomed in as they were approaching and was shooting photos so never zoomed it out making it look like the camera was close but really was about 10 feet from the train.

[@TrainmasterCurt]

Of course they choose trucks, probably cause of complaining motorists
