It was the day before Christmas and all over the rails only a few trains were stirring, train 421 was one. It arrived at Merritton the same time I did. The second engine was an Ontario Northland and I didn't have time to get a good photograph.
- 0931 Merritton - CN 421 east - CN 5371-ONT 2105
- 1013 Niagara Falls - CN 421 east - CN 5371-ONT 2105
Via train 97 was due in town soon so I made my way over to the station to see it.
- 1031 Niagara Falls - Via 97 east - AMTK 714
- 1044 Niagara Falls - Via 92 west - VIA 918 (parked)
After photographing the two passenger trains I headed back to Merritton.
- 1230 Merritton - CN 154 east - CN 2443
I heard Canadian Pacific train 256 get a clearance from Kinnear to Welland so I made my way to Wainfleet to see it.
- 1329 Wainfleet - CP 256 south - CP 9777-CP 9593-CP 8752-CP 8755
I followed 256 over to Welland yard where it set out the two ES44AC's. The two AC4400's proceeded to Buffalo as light power. I then finished off my Christmas shopping (one gift), bought a few groceries, and returned home.
