Definitely been a great read and you should be very proud of what you've built in this blog! If this is what you've done in 4 years, I am excited to see where the next 4 take you.<br /><br />Ty Keith - I will definitely be using this to check out sometime in the summer when I get a few mins away from work/school.

There is another one that passes through about just about 2 hours later. This is the train where there is a meet with an eastbound and I believe the WB typically uses the siding. The last WB comes through Carlsbad between 8:50 and 9:00. I look at the Via timetables for departures and arrivals from Montreal periodically to figure it out.<br /><br />As for the CN freight that uses this sub, it's pretty sporadic as far as I know. I've seen it maybe 4 times since the new year, usually heading WB and sometime around 5:00 is when it goes through. It can be as long as 15-20 cars long depending what's being moved in for storage. I don't really think it has much of a schedule though, and I'm not sure where or how to figure it out.

I have wanted to shoot near Carlsbad Springs for a while. There are some great stretches there. I didn't know about Russell Road. Any info that anyone may have about train frequency or rough train times on the Alexandria Sub in the east end would be greatly appreciated. I would imagine catching any of the CN runs to and from Coteau would be worthwhile.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917230984518214781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-24157027004247257942017-05-05T16:12:55.022-04:002017-05-05T16:12:55.022-04:00Keep up the good work!

There is also a siding (hidden from the main road but accessible from a side road) with at least 1 Via meet daily, if not more.<br /><br />CheersKeith Boardmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14221170958612825220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-13727231030777655052017-05-04T18:18:03.537-04:002017-05-04T18:18:03.537-04:00Many thanks, Steve.
