I like the caboose at 4:17

[floydfanTN]

Dear lord whats up with that loco @ 3:09

[RailfanJames]

@floydfanTN That is one of the infamous MPI/Morrison Knudson Rebuilds. Former EMD SD45's IIRC.

[floydfanTN]

@RailfanJames I was referring to the Pizza-Faced Alco in front of it.

[RailfanJames]

@floydfanTN CP had their Alcos on the roster up until a few years ago. I forget their designation.. I wanna say C636.

[floydfanTN]

@RailfanJames What happened to it?

[RailfanJames]

@floydfanTN Well the CP Alco's were pretty beat to hell at the end, probably like most locomotives needed some new paint. IIRC a few got some just before retirement. There are still 4-5 CP Alcos wondering around on shortlines in CP Paint to this day.

@RailfanJames wasnt it C424, i could be wrong

[MrkmTrainFAN]

Can't you just walk through the tunnel and cross the border hassle free? Doesn't look to be too protected?

[CPWindsorsub]

awesome video, im 13 and im kicking myself for not being around when all of this was still around

[losteffekt]

any video of traveling inside the tunnel?

[satinisthree]

Question: What is the location at 04:28? Love those open autoracks!! Looks like the ones that used to pass by my house on the CN Chatam sub when Windsor still made cars. Anyhow, great collection of shots here. I love seeing how grown-over with green foliage the WIndsor tunnel mouth looks. Today it's all open and barren for whatever reason.

[CPWindsorsub]

@satinisthree Windsor still does make cars, we make the Mini van still, its also all open so that they could put in all of those sycurity cameras

[CPWindsorsub]

@satinisthree ya, i figured thats what you ment, it looks like its somewhere on the CASO sub

[55098]

they have really cleaned up the windsor side over the years

[55098]

never saw the detroit side I worked at the windsor end they only use the 1 track now due to the autoracks

[simpsons4567]

Way cool man good job

[etr102]

Excellent vid! Very good video quality too! If you have any more Windsor area railfan vids of that vintage I would LOVE to see them!

[mygirl22ward]

Thats it for Windsor area in my collection, but thanks for your interest and nice comments! Dean H.

[ConrailJon]

Those Santa Fe GP60B's look so clean they could almost be models! Nice video.

[mygirl22ward]

You got that right! They havent even recieved their first tank of fuel yet! Spotless!

[nawrock]

wow amazing video. If you have more of windsor/detroit i would love to see it.

[Spongebobhankey]

Open autoracks. Awesome! Any more videos from the early 90's?

[MsC1953]

Great consists - where's the graffiti? LOL! Hadn't become the thing to do yet, I guess. Love that barge, too. Great video! Thanks for posting!

[mygirl22ward]

Glad you liked it! I have not been back there since 1991, and would not dare ( Detroit side ) Oh, that bit in the beginning with the barge was not suppose to be there, I am new at editing.... Thanks for over looking that flaw! Dean H.
