| J. Keenan | Superb rail site, one of the best home sites I've visited. Thanks for the graphics pages too. I have a rail related NON-COMMERCIAL home page at http://www.fgi.net/jpkeenan. Come and visit if you get a chance. We share a wonderful hobby! | January 1, 1997 |
|
| John Gist | Thought it was about time I signed in. One of the best local train pages on the web folks. By the way Paul - is that you hiding back in the dark in the caboose? Why don't you step out where we can see you? Keep up the good work. | January 4, 1997 |
|
| Brian D. Westhouse | New on the www, just looking around when I found your home page, excellent work! I have good memories of watching trains from grandmothers house in Ridgway, with my twin brother, manyn years ago. We are both CARMEN at CN Brampton. I have an interest in railways as: Crystal Beach's Ontario Southern (the peg leg) and Erie Beach's Snake Hill & Pacific. More interest in Northern Ontario logging Railways though. | January 5, 1997 |
|
| Todd Bendtsen | Great looking page. Keep up the good work. | January 7, 1997 |
|
| Curtiss Montgomery | Paul, what a terrific page - it is inspirational. There seems to be enough interest for some enterprising individual to get a TH&B page going. | January 7, 1997 |
|
| Alex Collins | Paul, I thought that the page was excellent. Being a CN HO-Scale modeler, I'm inpressed with the different locomotives that pass through the area. I'm glad you brought this to use railfans. THANKS PAUL! :) | January 26, 1997 |
|
| Steven Rotenberg | I lived in St.Catherines from 1981 until 1985. I took many photos at CN St.Catherines. Later, From 1986, until 1992, I lived in Hamilton. I had a lot of fun railfannning the last days of the TH&B and railfanning the niagara region in general. Loved the page. It brought back some happy memories. I now live in Lansing, Michigan. I miss railfanning in Ontario. | January 30, 1997 |
|
| Steve Gdovin | Just surfing for now, but I will be back to look at your "TH&B" stuff. I am looking for a TH&B roster. Thanks for the view. Great site. | February 6, 1997 |

| Danny Farrow | I have looked at almost 300 train related pages today and your page layout is the best I have seen. Where did you get that much time? I enjoyed it, and even stopped and looked for awhile because of it's appearance. | March 1, 1997 |
|
| Fred Cheney | I was Master Mechanic on the Penn Central in St. Thomas from January 1972 to August 1972. Loved every minute of it. Now an Chief Mechanical Officer of the Iowa Interstate Railroad in Iowa. Proud operator of 5 Alco/MLW's (they run great!!) | March 2, 1997 |

|
| Mike Courtney | Thanks to your great page it's comforting to know one is not alone with this train sickness. Railfans are everywhere, they could even be next door. My main interest is Interurbans, particularly the N.S.&T. The Niagara Pennisula is still interesting, but was magic in the 40's and 50's. | March 16, 1997 |
|
| Joe Nowakowski | Great page. I love the S.Ont. area, especially Port Colborne! Trains, big old Ships, chinese food, what more could I ask for? ;) So what are some good restaraunts in Port Dalhousie?;) | March 26, 1997 |
|
| Bob Schantz | I have always liked trains, especially steam. I dabbled in model railroading in high school but life took a different turn for me. I am starting a collection of railroad pictures to add to my other pictures on the computer and am looking forward to some good ones. I haven't checked yours out yet but I'm sure they are great. I found some nice ones on NYC home page. | March 29, 1997 |

| Chris Van Houten | I live in Ancaster (Carluke) and have a 16'x16' HO scale railroad. One of these days, I would like to build a new one using this site as my info, to build a layout about the niagara region. | April 18, 1997 |

| George Carpenter | I have about 25,000 slides/prints/negatives of CN family railroad locomotives (steam and diesel), freight, passemger, cabooses, MoW, and scenes.

|
| Ron Bouwhuis | Just thought I'd take a moment to say that I'm impressed with the amount ofcontent on your NRRS pages. For those of us who can't seem to find the time to get out and sniff the creosote, it's a good way to stay on top of what's going on out there. Well done. | June 30, 1997 |
|
| Ian Crellin | I have just returned from a trip to North America during which I visited Niagara Falls ON (friday 2 weeks ago in fact) to se the falls and any railway activities which I might find. Nice visit but I didnt see much rail activity at Niagara. I did visit St Thomas, Port Stanley and Halton radial which were all most enjoyable. | July 2, 1997 |

|
| Bill McCutcheon | EXCELLENT WEBSITE. AS I READ THRU THE HISTORIES, THE MEMORIES FLOODED BACK FROM MY GROWING UP YEARS AT DUNNVILLE AND PORT COLBORNE, AND RAILFANNING I WAS ABLE TO GET IN BEFORE MOVING WEST. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IN THE 60'S THAT OUR FAVOURITE RAILFANNING HAUNTS WOULD BE NOTHING BUST AND RUST AND WEEDS TODAY. THANKYOU FOR PROVIDING THIS OPPORTUNITY. | August 5, 1997 |
|

|
| John Riley | Your page looks great!!!! I have book marked so that I can come back to see what is happening in the Niagara Penn.

| Mike Bright | Greetings from the Caledonia & Hamilton Southern Railway operating as the Port Colborne Harbour Railway. Our compliments to you on a fine piece of work, documenting history as it was happening. Those of us here at P.C.H.R. will enjoy reliving those crazy days during start up! Again thanks, and keep up the good work. | October 10, 1997 |
|
| Rick Carter | I have worked on the railway in this area and other locations with both the CN and the CP. Have many slides of steam and other equipment. I drive a transport truck now but still railfan at every opportunity.Hope you can make available old pictures of the NS&T | October 20, 1997 |
|
| Rick Henry | Hi Paul. Very much enjoyed your site. Obviously a lot of detailed work and extremely well organized. I got to "your place" as I was searching for info on old railroads in the Bobcaygeon/Lindsay area. Any ideas would be most appreciated. | October 26, 1997 |
|
| Shane Stewart | Really enjoyed looking around your site. I can't believe how many photos you have collected. | November 6, 1997 |
|
| David Wakefield | Paul; I enjoyed visiting your page very much. As a modeller of the CPR Owen Sound Sub in the 50's I was fascinated by the pictures of your family 'on the ties'. I found the map page most interesting. Regards; David | November 12, 1997 |
|
| Greg Taft | Paul, your site is awesome. You've put a lot of time and work into it. I now live in the Niagara Region but I am originally from Windsor Ontario. In Windsor there is a private railroad called "Essex Terminal Railway". I lived next door to one of the tracks as a child and therefore my interest with trains began. I am including my web page link for anybody interested in Casino Information in Ontario. Keep up the good work Paul. | November 13, 1997 |
|
| John Romer | Thanks for a nice look back and the filling in of a few gaps in my memories/knowledge of your area. I was particularly interested in what I now can identify as the old Grand Trunk (from l907 map) line that curved south of Ft. Erie on its way to Welland. I remember seeing a fast westbd. steam freight at the crossing, on our way to Crystal Beach. I've often wondered what it was I saw, as my memory is only a general impression. I do know that I looked for the line about a year ago, and saw it was torn up near Crystal Beach; and this is confirmed by the l997 map. As this was about l956-8, I imagine the engine would have been CN. Did any of the US lines use this route via trackage rights? | November 21, 1997 |
|
| mokey' | Passing thru from Vaxxine's Hot Link. Great effort. Lots to see and learn. | December 10, 1997 |
|
| Andrew Baird | Can't get enough of Canadian Railways. I just keep on looking for info on the Canadian National in Newfoundland. | December 18, 1997 |
|
| Mike Iszak | Wow! Great page! I have searched high and low for schematics and road maps for the Niagara Region, even going so far as to photograph the wall charts at Toronto NI! (sorry, those pics did not turn out, so I cannot send u the pics :-( ) My dad works at INCO, so I'll try to get you some pics of INCO's Loco. Also, I have a GREAT photo of the wye on the Yoho sub in British Columbia. Their wye is unlike any I have seen before. it acually encircles a mountain, so it basically looks like a regular main-line with a huge loop attached to it! BTW, if anyone out there is wondering what those DTMF tones are on 160.935, they are *5420# This came from hours (literaly) of taping the tones and pressing buttons on my phone to get the ones that sound the same. Anyways, I do VERY little HO modeling, but now that i have the Niagara Region map, I may just make a smaller scale of mabye Macey (of which the yard is in my backyard - literaly!), Humberstone, Gov't (called Mill Sub now - unofficialy), and some in Welland. Paul - next time u are gunna be in the Macey/Humberstone area, send me an e-mail. | December 25, 1997 |
