Well as always Sunday is Train day. And it was a busy one. Between 8am and 10 am we saw 12 trains. As well i saw 3 at around 5:30am when i got called into work.

So here is the first sighting.

Then up next we have this one.

Oh look two trains at once.

Still 2 trains.

And yet another.

Not done yet.

the last west bound for the morning.

And the last one headed east.

And that's it for todays pictures from Winnipeg, MB

Thanks for posting these.
I really like those last two pictures. Besides the trains, they also show lots of interesting track detail. The difference between mainline and siding track, and that dirt crossing.
In the second to last picture, there looks to be a concrete slab or foundation. Do you know what that is for or what used to be there?

That used to be the Mile 10.5 grain elevator. Was torn down a few years ago. Makes for a nice platform to take pictures from.

Is there some other industry on that siding? It does not look abandoned.

no the switch is gone on the west end of the siding. The east side has the switch still. They stick MOW equipment there when they need to get freight past it.

Interesting, thanks for the info.

This wasn't from Sunday, but it is the GO Train on Burloak in Oakville, Ontario.
