I won't go into details, but I desperately need contact information for anyone who is an employee of CP. This could be a matter of life or death in this weather!

I tried calling Los Angeles Rams Guy, who is a CP employee in Minneapolis. We met up last year and I still have his phone numbers from then. No luck in reaching him, though.

The emergency telephone # on CPR's website is listed as 1-800-716-9132 . Call that.

Not quite that much urgency =)
If "greatest urgency" and "a matter of life and death" don't warrant calling CPR's emergency number, then I don't know what does.
Next time, choose your words more wisely.
Many of us over the age of approximately 50 will remember the old children's story about the little boy who cried "Wolf" and cried it so many times that everybody stopped listening to him and then the REAL wolf ate him but nobody came to his rescue as they thought his latest cry for help was another bunch of B.S. - well, this sounds like just such a scenario to me.
EXTREME URGENCY...LIFE OR DEATH...OH, NEVER MIND, IT'S NOT THAT BAD AFTER ALL!
He did say COULD.

Hmmm... why don't you try calling the nearest CP yard office, or division point office?
Answer to the last post:
I don't think a yard office would care about a railfan freezing to death in a snowbank while waiting for the next westbound.

If someone is in trouble call the local police.

If that's the case, neither would I.
If it is because you are a railfan and want to get a picture at some place in the snow and don't want to camp there, why should any railroad or railroader care? If you went out to take a picture and got stranded or lost, then, yes, it is urgent and a matter of life or death. But just to know when a train might come, you spread the rumor that all railfans are indeed foamers. Or is there an order from Calgary or Winnepeg that such and such a picture has to be taken for the board room or calendar?
RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.
Yeah, don't start a thread off like that if it's not really important. People are really trying to help out here.
I'm waiting with bated breath to find out what was SO urgent but it wasn't THAT urgent. And, also if it reaches a successful conclusion.
The frozen railfan will be put on permanent display at the new museum dedicated to those fellow railfans who made the ultimate sacrifice for our hobby. It is being sponsored by CPR.
No, not Canadian Pacific RR, but Citizens for Protection of Railfans. They are also using the occasion to promote their new emergency hotline 1-800-ICE-PICK.
Sorry, folks ! I couldn't resist. I've got a cold, and I about laughed/coughed myself silly over this thread. I have been needing a good laugh! Thanks, guys !!
Cascade Green Forever ! GET RICH QUICK !! Count your Blessings.
OK, Move along, nothing to see here, nothing of any urgency what so ever, just a foamer without a clue, now move along ........
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any
zugmannDoes a frozen railfan still wave?
RAILFANS WAVE?!
Instead of running hometo post on the forums, why didn't YOU go help this "frozen foamer"?
Please don't be telling us you were waiting for a train to photo it. That is life and death? Better be thankful I was not the one answering the phone.
Did Kelarson tell you to do that, or Joe? Get some common sense lad.
Will there be "serious consequences"?...or an "investigation"?
Murray Will there be "serious consequences"?...or an "investigation"?
That all depends on if they are "planning a load" or not.
I'm still trying to ascertain the importance.
Je n'entrerai pas dans les détails, mais j'ai désespérément besoin de contacter des renseignements pour quelqu'un qui est un employé de CP. Cela pourrait être une question de vie ou de mort dans ce temps!
Quel poste absolument ridicule pour rendre!
Personnellement tout ce non-sens est sur le point de faire la rate de mon canard favori exploser.
