Hi Dave. Thank you my friend. Kindest regards to you all at SSRP. Thank you for the wishes on Memorial Day. My son works in SF, CA and he has reminded me recently that this solemn occasion was approaching. I wish you all a great Memorial Day as well. So many lives lost in service. A time for sober rememberance and reflection upon their sacrifices. James.
Hi Nik. Wow ! Thank you so much. Appreciate that for sure, my friend. I hope that you have a great weekend. (although not so great for train watching right now; lol) James.
Hi Bill, Thank you for your comment. Could not agree more ! Those old Alcos seem to have a very unique audio signature (IMHO). The subject that provided me the opportunity to record the track is featured in an earlier video: ua-cam.com/video/BZmtMDRgoQo/v-deo.html. I hope that you might enjoy it. James.
Hello James, very interesting video about the history of this place and your workplace. The video showing that there is still rail traffic there is also interesting. Yes, my job in the mining industry had to be eliminated during the New Age, but I then retired, it was 45 years. The CN's shunting work is very nice, great photos from the air and from the ground. But it is still a very large industrial area. Thanks for showing and best regards. wolfgang
Greetings to you Wolfgang. Und auch einen schönen Sonntag. Ja, ich stimme mit dem überein, was Sie sagen. Wie Sie und andere, die in der Schwerindustrie in Deutschland tätig sind, erlebten auch die Einwohner von Hamilton einen schweren Niedergang der Schwerindustrie. Ich habe in Hamilton im Primärstahlbereich gearbeitet, als die Produktion ihren Höhepunkt erreichte oder kurz danach. Aus dieser Zeit ist so viel verloren gegangen. Viele neue Unternehmen sind in die Hamilton Bayfront eingezogen. Meiner Meinung nach haben sie jedoch nicht die gleichen Auswirkungen auf die lokale Wirtschaft wie viele der großen Unternehmen, die das Land verlassen haben, zu ihrer Zeit. Die Herstellung riesiger Dampfturbinen, sehr großer Leistungstransformatoren, Reifen, Wasch- und Reinigungsmittel, Warmbarrenfabriken und die meisten der vielen großen Textilfabriken, die es einst in Hamilton gab, gibt es nicht mehr. Traurig, aber das ist die heutige Realität. Danke mein Freund. James.
@@jeffneeb3285 Hi Jeff. Thank you for jumping in on this thread. I was not aware of this development. And I am glad to learn that CN will have a new customer. I wonder if Sucro-Can have a dock-side footprint to allow for sugar to be brought in by ship, such as the case was for Redpath in Toronto. cheers. James.
From what I'm told by Sucro-can employees and read online yes the slip west of Sherman Ave will be dug out to handle the bigger ships to unload sugar. Will be similar to how Lantic sugar in Montreal looks.
Awesome video thanks for the share.😊😊👍👍

Awesome video!
Greetings to you Boris. Thank you for your visit and most kind comment, my friend. Best wishes for safety for you, your family, and friends. James.
The view from the air and the explanation on the map were very easy to understand.
Thank you.
Have a wonderful weekend to you.
Happy Saturday to you, Masakun. Although perhaps it is Sunday already for you. Thank you for the generous comment. Stay safe. James.
Perfect!

Once the new Sucro-can sugar plant is built and starts operation it will add to the work for CN on that spur behind harvester.
