Gondola Parked on Sipi Metals Spur
« on: August 22, 2014, 08:08:08 AM »
I noticed yesterday that a gondola was parked on Sipi's spur in the fenced off parking lot.  It's the first time in a long time I have seen Sipi get rail service.

It's been there a couple of days.  Hoping to get a pic tomorrow.

Joe-

That would be great if you could.  Be careful of the security guard who sits in that box by the entrance.

You're absolutely correct.  I went there today, sunday, and within 5 seconds of pointing my camera at the car from the sidewalk across the street, I was getting yelled at "No photos please!"  He kept telling me that the car is on private property.  Even when I explained to him that I was on public property, he still kept yelling at me from the booth.  I left and came back 10 minutes later, got my shots, and left.  Rent a cops are such a joke.

Glad you got some shots Brianbobcat.  I couldn't get over there today.  I figured it would be a good clean shot with the parking lot empty on a Sunday.

Here's a photo of CP Rail switching Sipi Metals dated December 1 ,2005.  It's hard to get good photos past a chain link fence!
