These were some great shots. The raven on the front of the engine when loading the coal was great timing. "I'm just gonna chill here for a couple minutes."
Hey your in my territory, glad to see i'm not the only one filimg these! Also Lingan is pronuonced Lin-gan and Louisbourg is pronounced Louis-burg great video
As a dedicated railfan in Cape Breton, I’ve always been fascinated by the region’s scenic train routes. One of the most exciting sights is the regular train that rolls through, hauling cars and freight, painting a picture of the island’s industrial heart. But what’s equally interesting is the train that follows shortly after-just hours or sometimes even minutes later. Unlike the first, this one doesn’t carry cars but instead is used for passenger service or maintenance, its quieter passage a reminder of the dual nature of rail travel on this beautiful island. It’s a small but intriguing rhythm in the daily life of Cape Breton’s railway landscape. I also usually railfan in NW

Thanks for watching! And yes, I am glad I caught that on video. I am pretty sure the crew was feeding it crackers before I started recording.
NBSR units 2317,2318,2319 came from the SCR. Nice video!
Thanks for watching! And yes they did, thats how I found out about the modern day operations there.
Awesome production and narration, I like that! (Dave).
Thanks for watching!
@Maine_Railfan you're welcome
Great catches awesome chase and nice video
Thanks for watching!
Another railroad I didn’t know existed… adding this to my next eastern trip itinerary!
Just to let you know it's about an hour and a half from Port Hawksbury which has the nearest operating railroad from the SCR
Its a very interesting operation with an extensive history.

I also caught this train later that day at 1:15 pm loaded
I intend on coming back at some point, and thanks for the corrections. My pronunciations are pretty rancid.
@ it’s ok people come from all over the world to Cape Breton your probably not the first to butcher some of the pronunciations
