LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: We invite you to send your questions and comments: Email us at: editor@canadianrailwayobservations.com I always enjoy CRO, it is a great place to keep up on all the railroad action, and I enjoyed looking at all my photos that made the cut. All in all you and your CRO crew have a great place to keep up on all the train things, you also have some great photos from other people that I enjoy looking at, and all the info that is in CRO. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!! George Redmond Centralia, Illinois Hi Will,
Hi All,
Are you a fan of MLW’s and Alco’s?
If you love the look, sound, and smell of these animals as I do, check out this short video submitted by my buddy Walter showing Delaware-Lackawanna doings on April 27, 2013. After engine start, the crew adds a unit for the trip to Taylor Yard via the north leg of the wye at Linden St. to drop off grain empties and pick up loads. They then return via the south leg of the wye at Bridge 60 followed by an impressive eastbound launch at U of Scranton. The grain is dropped at Nay Aug and the remaining 2 car PT train was caught at Elmhurst. Lots of Alco thrash to impress your friends!

Thank you, William H. Baird – Editor, and Nathan Brown - Webmaster Our Canadian Railway Observations (CRO) FACEBOOK page continues to grow in popularity, and in our fourth year now, during April 2013 we surpassed 5150 Fans.https://www.facebook.com/pages/Canadian-Railway-Observations-CRO/287488550757?fref=ts Please understand as we post the new issues on the first day of each month we cannot always reply to emails right away. We will reply within 24 hours and make sure you are satisfied. Over the next two months CLUB CRO members will receive the new CRO issue announcements, and the CRO hyperlink by email. Currently, only a small number of you have this, and we will shortly offer this service to all of you.
The mission of CRO remains the same: to keep CRO readers informed of pertinent Canadian train news, which is compiled and verified over the month, and updated daily. The accurate information we post each is obtained and confirmed from our reliable sources. Our other mission is to showcase beautiful locomotive shots submitted by our readers, credit them, and help promote their photography.
As our “Vignette” segments are very popular with our readers, please continue to submit photos and your suggestions for future vignettes.
We thank you,
