Trackside Log for Tuesday, December 13, 2005

It was supposed to be a sunny day but when I looked outside it was snowing. I figured it was off Lake Ontario so I drove to Brookfield (away from the lake). This turned out to be a good idea; it was nice and sunny there. I just had to wait for something to show up.

  • 1119 Brookfield - NS 328 east - NS 9274-NS 9372

I heard on the scanner that Canadian Pacific train 419 was parked in Welland yard and 256 was waiting for job 1 to get out of the way. I swung by the yard to see 419.

  • 1200 Welland - CP 419 north - CP 8509-CP 8654-CP 5749

Train 256 was nearly ready to leave so I drove out ahead of it for photographs.

  • 1231 Brookfield - CP 256 south - CP 9514-CP 8636

I then headed to Fort Erie to see if Norfolk Southern 369 was around. I got there just as CP 256 was pulling through.

  • 1300 Fort Erie - CP 256 east - CP 9514-CP 8636
  • 1307 Fort Erie - NS 369 lift - NS 6159

Norfolk Southern train 369's lift for the day included the SD40-2.

  • 1335 Fort Erie - CN 154 east - CN 2565
  • 1339 Fort Erie - NS 369 west - NS 9876-UP 3557-NS 8698

Since I was clouded out for 369 I went to Duff to look for the sun.

  • 1402 Duff - NS 369 east - NS 9876-UP 3557-NS 8698

It worked. I found some sun. There wasn't any word of anything else on the way, so I headed back home.
