Glendale on Saturday
Spent four hours in Glendale this Saturday saw one NS tanker train and that was it. Left at 1:00 very disappointed.

That's part of the hobby, too. Suggest going back until you find the busy times.

Re: Glendale on Saturday
I understand that is a busy line. Is it best to go there during the week or on the weekend. How many trains are on that line during the day?
Re: Glendale on Saturday
During the week and either mid morning 6am-7 or after 5pm since it is before track work starts.

Re: Glendale on Saturday
I've been to Glendale before. Best times are early in the morning, from 5-10, and later in the day, from 5-10....much like Durand. The local delivering Tropicana Juice reefers usually heads north on weekdays from Queensgate around 8:30-9, and will return a couple hours later. Also, if you get bored at Glendale, head on over to Hamilton. Just go west from downtown Glendale until you get to Route 4, and follow it north.

Re: Glendale on Saturday
Try going to Hamilton and hang out on the parking lot at McDonalds. Unless there's track work you're bound to see several trains in a few hours no matter the time of day. Enjoy the scenery and good food at Glendale and if you see a few trains it's a bonus.

Re: Glendale on Saturday
Thanks will do! I know Hamilton gets some traffic. I did see the CCET engine was going to get a paint job. Looking forward to seeing the final result!
