I am modeling a line on my freelance layout Ontario Eastern.  It runs on the old CP line the Prescot Sub.  I am wondering what traffic is generally seen perhaps along this line for those south of the Ottawa area, whom might be able to help me determine, what freight is ran

Watched a movie on YouTube called the Atomic Train.   It is a Doomsday movie.  Doomsday for Denver.  All through the movie people not following the rules or instructions set up Denver for disaster.  You will be. Surprised how many make it worse.   Like all movies involving trains they equipped the train cars with walkways and hand rails that don't exist on real trains for the action scenes and to keep the actors safe.

I had a question pertaining to the use of steam switchers particularly geared towards the Great Northern but also other transition era railroads as well.

I recently came across a GN 0-8-0 yard switcher in one of my books on the GN where classification lights were added periodically for service outside the yard in Grand Forks, ND. My question is what kind of jobs were steam switchers used on with the GN and other roads requiring them to go out on the mainline?
