CN #149 - Kingston Ontario

Temperature - 15 degrees C. Windchill -25 C. Very cold but well worth it!

Forget dashing through the snow. As a mild snow falls in the area of Kingston Ontario, CN train #149 charges through the VIA Rail station with a Dash 9-44CW and a SD60F.

This Montreal to Chicago train usually hauls intermodal containers and trailers but on infrequent basis, this train has regular freight cars added to it's consist. Making pickups and drops along the way.

ouch that looked like that hurt with all that snow flying in the air

i would be hanging onto the trypod for mercy

[ConrailSD70MAC]

Didn't hurt at all. I'm pretty used to the extreme cold and wind. I dressed for the occasion. After the train passed, I walked into the station to melt all the snow on me. The waiting passengers and staff all had a chuckle seeing me walk in all white. Covered head to toe in snow.

My camera and tripod was firmly implanted into the pavement on the station platform so...no worries of it falling down.

Dramatic!

Very cool video! Really liked the approach scene. Don't know why, but I seem to get out railfanning more in the winter! Winter jacket and snowpants are part of my railfanning gear! I have a few neat videos uploaded. Feel free to visit my channel!

Kingston is voted #3 best place to live in canada. right after, ottawa, and victoria.... i guess that's great... the survey was done by MONEYSENSE, Canada. you can search it on the net. it ranked all the cities and towns in Canada.

Toronto is #79. and that's where i'm going. i hope it's a right choice.

I'm still choosing over Oakville, Hamilton, Burlington, and Kingston...over Toronto.

help me out...

woah!! is it just me or was that train going crazy fast?!? i could totally feel that wind. if you and the camera had both fallen over i wouldn't have been surprised! wow, this was awesome!

[metalhead679]

Same

[drockadam6]

Awesome, I live in Kingston

[RRYankfan]

i am pretty used to the cold (i live along the CP sunbury sub in NE PA) if you count going and shoveling snow off of the sidewalk in my pajamas in 10 degree weather

see my first video called Trains In the snow and you will see what i mean

yup and maby the rail industry would have been better off in barrie now. BCRY is trying to keep it alive, but a big % of rail traffic left when the molson plant colsed. And im seeing even more industrial sidings being abandoned here. it sucks.
