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!
