I am making a documentary style video on the Smiths Falls Sub and wouldn't mind if you would let me borrow them for the video. I'll let the viewers know it was your photography and what not. <br /><br />The video will be similar to this one I made on the Beachburg sub!<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVfbtarxd3o&t=22sMatt G Trainzhttps://www.youtube.com/c/MattGTrainz/featurednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-59608520487836318952018-12-18T16:52:06.504-05:002018-12-18T16:52:06.504-05:00I just discovered this blog yesterday, and I am at...I just discovered this blog yesterday, and I am at once quite impressed with and grateful for all the work that goes into it.

I haven't been out much lately but reading this blog has fired me up abit! Lately I have heard this train still returning Wednesday late afternoon as well as on Thursdays! I think I'll be heading out this Wednesday coming up and see how my luck goes! Check out my YouTube channel Burnuts007 just skip the snow removal videos and you'll find 589. Great blog !

There's a good stretch of track near 45°19'54.9"N 75°48'17.8"W where I'll be. Think I might position myself on the East end of the bridge crossing over the 416.Jason Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114609033367060915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-6813608335717485912016-07-04T12:13:20.510-04:002016-07-04T12:13:20.510-04:00Sometimes the train to Arnprior doesn't run re...Sometimes the train to Arnprior doesn't run regularly.

Much different than being on a mainline where you could camp out another hour and see 3 more come by.

Eric - I'm glad you like the technical details, but I will defer all credit to Ian McCord. Of course, I will take the credit for knowing it was good enough to share in a proper post.

Train pictures are train pictures, but discovering, learning and sharing are very important parts of railfanning if we decide to take it to that next level.<br /><br />Why the heck do railways do what they do?
