Sweet ride in the bush! I'm from th area...hence finding this clip while posting my own .....

Not really ore cars but tippers for raw copper or tin material from mines, unless you call them something else in Canada. Here in Michigan's upper peninsula the ore cars drop iron ore pellets into hoppers to be loaded on ore boats. These ore cars drop from the bottom. Nice video and nice to see a caboose!

actually they still run the CPR cabooses they have a truck who pulls it and one with wagons attached to it which was sitting there for I don't know how long but I remember it there since I was 5 and I'm 14 right now so it was sitting there for 10 or 13 years...

that's my guess

whats the point in having a caboose and an EOT device??? didnt the EOT replace the caboose? :p

CP does some back-up moves, and I think at this time they where backing all the way down the hill into Lavack from the mainline since the INCO stopped running ore up to the CP connection. Thanks for looking. Jack

No, its at Onapping Falls, which is west of Sudbury Ontario on the CPR. Sudbury is about 4hours north of Toronto...

very nice video the train looks really good with those SD40s if they are SD40-2 I stand corrrected I could be wrong up front and CP caboose on the rear I was told while in Canada a while back the CP calles them brake vans or something like that

[1jackdk]

They are both SD40-2 units, and where built by GMD in 1972. The caboose on the rear, if in the USA, is called a shoving platform. Once they get to the juction at Lavack, the train backs down the branch to the loader at Lavack, avoiding two run-around moves. Thanks for watching. Jackmp294
