DAR Windsor, NS

Post by Paul Charland »

Hi All,

Finally got through Windsor yesterday and thought I'd post a few shots.

79 Train 2 starts across the new causeway between Falmouth and Windsor. In the background you can see the now out of service bridge that crossed the Avon River.

80 The town of Windsor can be seen in the background of this shot of DAR 9059.

Image

81 Train 2 arrives at Windsor while Extra 8134 South wait for clearance to head to Hantsport. Although 8137 is in the lead, gypsum trains are numbered by the first unit used on the first run of the day.

Image

83 As passengers depart Train 2, Extra 3134 South heads across the causeway.

Image

84 Extra 3134 South passes through Falmouth on the way to Hantsport.

Image

82 Train 2 passes Wentworth Rd on the way to Halifax.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the kind words, have enjoyed working on the route, brings back old memories. Started working on eight miles of the Truro Sub, this will cover the two gypsum mines and give the Mixed a bit of a run before reaching Windsor. I'll post shots when I have something to show.

Hi Steve,

Having fun with the route myself, nice watching things come together.

Started adding scenery north up the Truro Sub, got the the edge of the Wentworth Mine property and thought I'd fill in to the east... ended up connecting the east side of Windsor to the bit I already had between Three Mile Plains and Newport, so the route is complete to MP 24.

Spent the last two days on the Wentworth Mine, should have the scenery wrapped around it by the end of the day.

Paul :-)
