Yep, and it was full of wood.  :D
Same tracks that were there when we was youngins.
I told momma, " I wish I had brought my camera in with me. " She said go get it, it'll keep on a runnin a few more minutes.  Pert near a half a minute later I decide to go out to the rental car and get it and start taping.  There was alot of Irving wood on dat train.
I musta missed about 30 car loads.

That was neat!   8)  I turned the sound on because I love to listen to trains rolling and groaning on the tracks. 

Say when

There have been alot of correct comments made and fyi.... "Thee"
train was headed east --southeast.  Oh Canada, was only a few Football fields away. ;D

If it was Irving wood, it would be heading to Saint John. I told you guys awhile ago on another thread they still move wood by rail here. You can go to the Salmon River bridge and watch wood going by at least twice a day. Irving has a line down along the southern end of the province into Maine, probably from Moncton where that train of wood would end it's journey. But it could also be going to St Leonard or Deersdale where the mills are beside the same rail line. Everybody else over here on the west end of the province lost their rail service, not those Irvings though. Irving is the largest woodlands owner in both Maine and NB., owning 1.5 million acres in Maine.

  I don't see trains of wood here , but , I do see about four cars of logs go by every week . Train goes by twice a day ... once going west and then in the evening comes back . This train is from Vermont it comes on this side only to go around the mountains for about 10 miles or so then goes back into Vermont .
  Logs go west , lumber comes back this way .

You guys have got me thinking.I can not remember the last time I saw wood on rail.I live only 20 minutes from a paper mill.I see the train,but cannot remember seeing wood on them.I've never seen logs or tree lenght on a train.Only 4 foot wood and 8 foot wood.I will have to pay more attention from now on.

At Utica, NY (USA) there is a rail yard where I have often seen logs stacked at least 15-25 ft high and the pile goes on for several hundred feet. They must load it and haul from there. Sometimes I pass by and there is a huge pile and the next time there is little or none. I do not know where they haul it to. I would think some of the larger stacks i have seen in the past would fill a very long train, guessing over 200 cars worth.
