[1jackdk]

I can't find my notes at the moment, so I can't give you the mp, but its was a mile or so hike west of the crossing at Coldwell. West end of Coldwell siding switch. Thanks for looking, Jack

[trainzandbridgez101]

Where is this located? Ontario? Which city?

[1jackdk]

As written in the above post. Its at Coldwell. There is NO big cities in Northern Ontario. It is west of the town of Marathon ONT. on Lake Superior. Thanks for looking. Jackmp294

I think they call that ''dark territory''.

[1jackdk]

I very sure that dark territory is area where there is no radio communication. This is just a matter of someone turning the knob on the radio to change to another channel for that section of railroad.

[bonkogump]

this is not dark territory. I installed all the new signals in this area with CP. This area is 20 km west of Marathon.

If you dont know what your talking about, best not post anything because you just make yourselves look like abunch of retards

@6060steamfreak Dark territory is no signal indication for that subdivision. You will always have radio communication with the dispatcher. Your "run" is determind either by the length of the mileposts the dispatcher gives you to operate in between, or by "blocks" wich is a certain section of track given a name to cover sections of track.

@MrNotch9 As a long time railroad man, I can tell you that running a signal will not lead to automatic dismissal.. You will be taken out of service peding an investigation and upon the completion of the investigation you will be told what and how much time you will be given off. It could range anywhere from a week to 3-6 months depending if you have had any other infractions. That goes for all railroads.

donde es...

[northlanderdude]

@1jackdk there are only 2 big cities in Northern Ontario. Greater Sudbury and Thunder Bay.

@MrNotch9 don't know who your man is or what he does but I can say after 25 years of service and holding elected office in the BLE and TCRC running a stop signal is not an automatic dismissal...it all depends on the individual circumstances of the event and what the crew involved does after going by the stop signal.

[MrNotch9]

@tprdfh51 well, my sources come from a man who spent 20 years on 3 different railroads. not saying things haven't changed in the last 9 years, but i'd think his information is somewhat accurate

[tprdfh51]

@MrNotch9 no they don't...it all depends on the circumstances of the event and what the crew did after running the stop signal. These are matters which are determined after a thorough investigation into the affair by the company, Transport Canada and the crewmember's union rep.

[MrNotch9]

@tprdfh51 most railroads fire someone automatically if they run a siginal. i know that's the case for UP, CN, and BNSF.
