One of the mini Loram trains dawdled up from Chappell Junction and made several passes over the siding switches. Then he went into the siding to wait for a freight train.
Caught this guy heading east Monday April 27/09
This was 8:30 p.m. and they were hoping to make Kenora before shutting down. This was near Molson and Panet Road in Winnipeg.

"Mini-rail grinder" G-9 profiling at MP 119 in Huntington, MA. on Feb. 15, 1991. My memory tells me this was a ConRail machine, but looking at the markings on the side of the cab, it may be Pandrol-Jackson. No notes (very unlike me!) and this is the onlt shot, so.....?

Finally managed to catch a Railgrinder in action, even though this is the 'mini' version, it's still impressive. Note the camera pointed down at the track, the fire extinguishers on the sides and the bucket on the front porch. Sure looks like a re-worked GE 80T.
Only a few weeks ago these...
