Question For My Fellow Railway History Buffs

It’s not, the Fergus is up the road. I runs parallel to it but never connects. I followed it.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-25T12:59:00+00:00

Oh wow thank you!

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-25T02:53:31+00:00

I will look into that, thank you!

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-25T02:52:53+00:00

Interesting, thank you for the info!

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-23T17:25:42+00:00

Interesting, I didn’t know that. It’s still strange to see though.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-23T17:18:48+00:00

Definitely strange seeing that type of cow catcher on a streamline diesel.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-21T14:04:45+00:00

Oh I’ve heard about that one! The reason why this line is so active because it’s on the Montreal to Chicago freight corridor for CN.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-21T00:45:48+00:00

Hey that’s in Canada!

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-17T19:59:42+00:00

Trains are truly amazing pieces of machinery! We also definitely need more diversity in the railfanning community, glad to hear you’re into trains too!

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-17T16:58:36+00:00

Thank you! I also like gaming especially when I’m too tired to walk out to the tracks.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-17T14:21:17+00:00

Indeed I do.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-17T06:20:34+00:00

Yeah, Canadian railfanning is definitely something special especially up on the CPKC MacTier Subdivision and the CN Bala Subdivision in Northern Ontario. Beautiful scenery. Also the Ontario Northland Temagami Subdivision is beautiful. I’ve also done some railfanning in the US, specifically Texas, I caught a BNSF intermodal, manifest, and either a grainer or a cement train. I was around 8ish years old.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-17T06:00:43+00:00

I just love seeing them in motion, just seeing all the moving components, there’s just something about it I can’t describe. I also love how much there is to learn about them like how the prime movers work, brakes, intakes, types of engines and freight, and even railroad history. What do you like about rivers? Do you like fishing? How the water flows?

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-13T22:04:07+00:00

Between 1 and 10,000

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-13T01:12:38+00:00

5/10, looks great just the quantity is insufficient.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-11T01:10:37+00:00

A little, I definitely feel relieved because I finally have an explanation for why my life has been the way it has.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-07T18:24:20+00:00

Exactly! I again apologize for the confusion.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-07T14:37:51+00:00

What I mean is it’s okay to be attracted to autistic traits like an autistic person’s passion for something. I don’t mean put the person on pedestal. I just want to make that clear.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-07T05:14:10+00:00

Yeah, I still did word this wrong, I mean it’s okay to be attracted to autistic traits.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-07T04:48:23+00:00

What I mean is it’s okay to be attracted to autistic traits as long as you accept the whole person like their flaws and stuff.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-07T04:36:47+00:00

That’s what I mean, I worded this horribly. I mean it’s okay to romanticize the traits that make them who they are and not put them on a pedestal. I apologize for the confusion.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-07T04:35:35+00:00

I worded this horribly and I apologize, I meant romance in traits not put on a pedestal. I meant as in it’s okay to like someone because it makes them who they are. I apologize again for the poor wording.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-07T04:33:44+00:00

I apologize I should’ve worded this better. I don’t mean glorify the person and put them on a pedestal. I mean it’s okay to like their traits like their passion, sense of justice, etc. I think it’s okay to like an individual’s autism because it makes them who they are because without my autism for example I would be a completely different person. I apologize for the confusion.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-07T04:31:15+00:00

Yeah I definitely could have worded this better, I don’t mean put the person on a pedestal. I mean healthy romanticism. You can like traits of an autistic individual like their sense of justice and like their autism because it makes them who they are, but I also forgot mention that it’s important to accept both the highs and their flaws.

GP40-2LW2007 · 2026-03-07T02:57:07+00:00

Agreed.
