Trains and Such
This gallery has been one of my most successful to date for purchases of my photos.
Hi Rail Gang Truck
I'm sure you have come across vehicles that are used both on the road and on the track for maintenance of right-of way.
I have had conversations with the guys that maintain the different tracks that I may be interested in, and that was as recently as several days ago in Banff Park on the Laggan sub.
These conversations can prove to be quite informative in regards to the different trains scheduled to put in an appearance.
Although my scanner can keep me informed as to the goings on down the track, sometimes observing what the crew of a hi-rail truck parked beside a rail crossing are up to, also tells one a lot as to whether a train is approaching, or if the crew of the hi-rail truck places their truck on the track and announces their presence over the radio before heading down the track like the hi-rail gang truck in my photo, that tells me I won't be seeing a train for a while.
