About sdfourty
Best hobby in the world ! A photographer friend recommended the Nikon brand, bought my first used Nikon in 1976 and continue to use that Nikon body regularly. Best ever train ride: Extra 6060 west, a seven car train, Ottawa to Toronto via the (now lifted) Smiths Falls subdivision (mostly at 25 mph) then onto the Kingston sub, west of Napanee the engineer let 6060 really run: at 80+ mph 6060 sounded like the Turbo ! Then a brief stop at Port Hope demonstrated that the 'grape vine' really worked (who needs "social media" ! ) : the whole town showed up! sdfourty.

at the CN Drawbridge mile 89.9 Bala Subdivision, September 29, 1979 Kodachrome by S.Danko
<br>
<br>
Q: When the bridge is a swing bridge, why do the railways call such Interlockings a 'Drawbridge'??
<br>
<br>
Notable: The Bridge Tender's shanty has been re-sided in white and as of August 2014 was in situ. More recently appears to have been replaced by a trailer. Drawbridge is in service May 1 to October 15.
<br>
<br>
Noteworthy: The CN Drawbridge is in a park like setting on the Trent Canal main channel between Sparrow Lake ( north) and Lake Couchiching ( south). The bridge is CN controlled, Trent Canal mile 209.1 (from Trenton at mile 0.0), upon approach boaters must observe the bridge status...the bridge crossing is not signaled for boaters ( Locks are signaled) and for boaters “ is always a bonus when the bridge is open ”' …. and if a wait required ' not fun ' on a windy day. Boaters' wait times for clearance (swing time plus train time and opening swing time ) can be upwards of 20 minutes.
<br>
<br>
Lock 42, the Couchiching Lock, Trent Canal mile 209.9 (from Trenton mile 0.0) is a few hundred yards to the north.
