Trackside Log for Saturday, November 12, 2005

Today I headed to Hamilton to meet up with Marcus. While driving on the Queen Elizabeth Way through Jordan I heard NS 327 calling out signals ahead of me. I caught up to him at Stoney Creek and headed to Hamilton yard hoping to get there first. As it turned out Marcus was there too. Marcus was unaware that 327 was just down the tracks.

  • 0910 Hamilton - NS 327 west - NS 5610-NS 2874
  • 0918 Hamilton - Via 97 east - AMTK 709

Marcus and I decided to head to Aldershot after stopping by Hamilton West. While at Hamilton West CN 331 with two SD75I's and 385 with a C44-9W and an SD75I headed up the Dundas subdivision in tandem.

  • 1003 Aldershot - CN 332 east - CN 2501
  • 1011 Aldershot - CN 435 west - CN 2505-CN 5417-CN 4110
  • 1100 Aldershot - CN 422 east - CN 5515-CN 5734

Train 435 had finished switching Aldershot and pulled out of the west end of the yard to get back on its train.

  • 1112 Aldershot - CN 435 west - CN 2505-CN 5417-CN 4110
  • 1114 Aldershot - CN 148 east - CN 2520-CN 5523-CN 2515
  • 1133 Aldershot - CN 390 east - WC 6941-IC 6015-CN 7003-CN 4121
  • 1152 Aldershot - CN 154 west - CN 5611

Marcus had to take off so I headed up to Copetown to see what else CN might show up with.

  • 1248 Copetown - Via 72 east - VIA 912
  • 1255 Copetown - Via 73 west - VIA 6415
  • 1329 Copetown - CN 330 east - CN 2513-CN 2531
  • 1359 Copetown - CN 392 east - CN 5679-CN 2654
  • 1400 Copetown - CN 393 west - CN 2556-CN 5505
  • 1513 Copetown - CN 434 east - CN 2424-CN 5550

The sun was going down in the west and I only knew about another eastbound which was getting nigh on impossible to photograph, so I headed home. Not a bad day although there was nothing truly exciting.
