Trackside Log for Wednesday, December 14, 2005

On my way over to Merritton this morning the NI dispatcher mentioned that they were having problems with bridge six. Six trains were queued waiting to pass. Apparently it would be a busy morning.

  • 0856 Merritton - Via 90 west - VIA 913
  • 0859 Merritton - CN 332 west - CN 2565
  • 0903 Merritton - CN 331 west - CN 5457-CN 5701
  • 0910 Merritton - NS 327 west - NS 7517-NS 7516
  • 0916 Merritton - CN 422 west - CN 5334-CN 2665

Hokey smokes!!! Five trains in twenty minutes. I've never done that in Niagara before. I originally had a ticket for Via train 90. I would have been two hours late had I not rescheduled. Oh, and the new Norfolk Southern ES40DC's were a nice touch. Now there were still three eastbounds to come.

  • 1009 Merritton - CN 421 east - CN 2504-CN 5456-CN 4118
  • 1020 Merritton - Via 97 east - AMTK 701
  • 1111 Merritton - NS 328 east - NS 8811-NS 8600

All the interesting trains were through and I was getting hungry so I went back home. It was a good morning though!
