The beauty of Fall and Trains with hundreds of old Saskatchewan cylindrical hoppers!

[@rainman29]

All the Saskatchewan Hoppers which were at one time of course government owned have been sold off with the bulk if not all going to a short line called Mobile Grain which is a subsidiary of AGT foods. They purchased half of the old CN Craik Subdivision from Regina north to Davidson Saskatchewan which is half way between Regina and the CN transcon in Saskatoon. They spot cars for loading along the line and also have loading terminals just outside Regina in a siding called Condie and another one in Aylsbury Saskatchewan. Mobile Grain interchanges with CN in Davidson. Mobile Grain also purchased a lot of the old Canadian Wheat Board hoppers as well. Motive power consists of old CN SD40-2W painted for Mobile Grain in Green and White as well as two former CP SD40-2 one rebuilt to -2 standards from as SD45 in the dual flags paint and one in the no multi mark CP Rail paint as well as a coupe of old switchers at Aylsbury which look like GE 45 ton but I’m probably wrong on those two just a guess.

@@rainman29 I really appreciate that detailed explanation of who owns those old grain hoppers now, thank you so much. I’m gonna pin this to the top so that other people can see it easily.

[@rainman29]

@ thank you and my pleasure. It’s nice to have my useless info come in handy once in a while. Big fan of your channel keep up the great work and amazing content.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

These many old hoppers were like a lottery win, Tony! 😀

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@hunsbuckel55 yes for certain probably will never catch another train or trains with that many old Hoppers again

[@pixiesweeney6535]

You knew I would love all the grainers!🥰Glad to see the old girls still working! 🤗Just because you're heavy, don't hold as much and leak is no reason that they can't still earn a living!😂

[@TonyVRailfanning]

LOL so very true!

[@justindeclemente1130]

Without question, the most visually entertaining trains I’ve seen in any country, and all the better in such a wondrous landscape…

Thanks, you too!

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

@TonyVRailfanning you're very welcome and thank you also.

[@andrewmcarthur3843]

Wow, never saw that many Saskatchewan hoppers on one train. Maybe 2 or 3. Nice bridge at Evansburg too

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Thanks Andrew, Ya, thats a first for me seeing not one but two full trains of cylindrical hoppers from Saskatchewan

[@BernardBabin]

Bravo pour votre vidéo, vraiment fantastique les prises de vues. Je t'ai envoyés des Gros Mercis. Continue de beau travail.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@BernardBabin thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@grandpakyle]

I caught this line in north bend few weeks ago. great video as always, best colors this time of year eh.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@grandpakyle thank you, yes I love this time of year for filming, but this has changed now everything‘s pretty brown

[@johnmcgarvie4061]

As usual Tony, another top shelf production with amazing drone piloting. Cool to see the Saskabush hoppers again. Any Alberta or Canadian government hoppers around yet? I usually don't pay much attention to boring grain trains unless they are working a mountain grade.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@johnmcgarvie4061 thanks John. Yeah, we see the Alberta hoppers quite often because the battle River Railway purchased most of them.

[@scvtpacn]

I did noticed something around the 9:00 mark that I thought was concerning me. It looks like there’s a small sharp dip in the rails that could potentially cause a derailment.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@scvtpacn my camera has a very long zoom on it and when you use a Zoom like that, it compresses everything and makes it look much worse than it actually is yes that is what’s called a soft spot and it is a dip, but it’s not as severe as it looks

[@bcsferromodelismo3822]

🇧🇷🚂 Belíssimas Imagens!!

[@TonyVRailfanning]

Thank you, it is amazing scenery

[@tracksidebc5854]

Another great video Tony. Always enjoyable. It’s cylindrical!

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@tracksidebc5854 thanks my friend. Have a good week.

[@benjamin1540]

Hey tony, just curious what drone you’re using. Thanks

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@benjamin1540 I use an DJI air 2s

[@QuincyJordan]

question, what drone do you use when your trainspotting?

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@QuincyJordan DJI air2s

[@marengtech313]

A lot of these cars are nearing the 50 yr. mark, you may have seen your next fridge or stove roll by, newer cars are bigger and lighter, better to move on than get stuck in the past I guess.

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@marengtech313 yes, due for retirement for certain.

[@MCole-xz3cz]

Drought conditions up there too?

[@TonyVRailfanning]

@@MCole-xz3cz yes unfortunately
