down by the tracks, to see what I could see.
This following my very recent and sudden interest in trains and railroad modelling after many years worth of plastic and R/C aircraft modelling. I suspect this interest was triggered involuntarily after I purchased my grandson one of the Bachmann HO starter sets for Christmas. Inevitably, I gave the grandson something else for Christmas, and still retain the train set for both of us to play with.
Anyway, I went for a walk down by the tracks over a couple of days last week, and took some photos of the CN happenings in our small town. Whitecourt, Alberta, Canada.
The photographs help me learn about trains and railroading as I can research these machines on google. I thought I might share a few photos with you forum members. If this is 'old' and uninteresting, please let me know, and I'll keep them to myself.
I was very happy to find this MoW equipment, as I've never seen this type of equipment before. They must be doing some tie work:
I cannot find machines with these road numbers on rrpictures.net. I wonder if the MPM XXX power unit is a repurposed locomotive.
So much to learn!!!

Bye-the-way, I would have liked to get a photo of the front end of that power unit, but, there was an especially grumpy rail worker down there, who was none to happy I was walking the tracks. He was younger than me, but, I was faster than him.
