Street Running in Canada

The compensation often used in P4 is not useful in handling situations like the movie above. They are not designed for that kind of environment and would not react the same way as a "real" locomotive.

If anyone knows otherwise please post a video.

Back to the subject of the OP - was someone's GPS telling lies? (And yes, I have noticed the date  :thankyou: ) :

I must be slow today, pH. Please elucidate...

 

Best, Pete.

 

Date of the first picture is December 30, 1982. There wasn 't a GPS system around then. I was just trying to forestall comments from observant RMWebbers. (And IMO that switcher looks lost!)

Gotcha.

What I noticed is the strange way the road becomes narrower this side of the loco.................

 

Best, Pete.

 

That's the correct location, and the street does (or did, I haven't been there in a while) get narrower as it leaves town. In fact it gets narrower still as it climbs up the escarpment (somewhere just below the photographer).

Hello all

 

I stumbled across this image of historic street running in downtown Victoria today: https://www.flickr.com/photos/chris_city/46036394001/in/feed.

 

 

FYI: It's worth keeping an eye on Chris Medland's Flickr photostream if you are interested in industrial switching and west Canada railroading, he's put some cracking images up.
