Was railfanning with RAILRODDER(Andre) today and we caught a great catch on the CP line just west of Port Hope.The 2 CP AC4400s were hauling a string of flat cars with wind turbine support columns on them.it was a rare sight to see and i'm glad we caught it.

  • Nice. That really must be a rare catch. 0:16 look on the right. Another train on the CN line. Haha.

  • it was a rare catch.i saw the CN train but i keeped filming the CP train.

  • Yeah. Btw I think I have gone by that area where you filmed. On my way to the 401... Nice. Do trains ever stop/slow down this far out?

  • VIA stops in Port Hope.

  • WORLD RECORD: BIGGEST WIND TURBINE

    Visit: windturbinecarriedbywheels.wee­bly.com

    ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they are sealed underground.

    SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since slow-moving.

    DOES NOT OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.

    MAY BE LOWER-COST since it may use timber and other cheaper things.

    ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the V-type folding blades automatically close.

    NO FIRE since well-cooled.

    HELPS WIND-ENERGY COMPANIES since it is FREE FOR ALL.

  • They bring the big ones (bottom sections of tower) by our house up near Norwood on specil transports. They're too big to fit on a train! Shuts traffic down every time they come through as they have to stop and steer the back wheels on the trailer to get around the corner. The turbine blades are really something to see when they go by! Huge!!

  • Epie This made me subcribe!

  • NIce catch!

  • 1:25

  • @RailFanDavid

    Yes, I saw these videos of these trains carried wind turbines.

  • Oh because a few times I did see a CN stop out here... Probably because it was waiting for a signal to go from red to orange or green...
