The lemmy place to talk about canadian trains.

Last year I was finally able to catch a local serving the grain elevator at Sarnia's waterfront. I had been trying for years with little success. The main reason is that I wanted to film both railroad crossings along Front St, both of which have 1950s-era Griswold/GRS signals that still have their original 1950s Griswold mechanical bells and cantilevers, and most of their original 8-inch incandescent lights. 8-inch incandescents are extremely rare in Canada nowadays thanks to Transport Canada regulations demanding 12-inch LED lights. Thankfully, the Point Edward Spur is infrequently used, so the signals have been left alone.
