Trackside Log for Wednesday, December 21, 2005

This was the last weekday morning I'd have trackside for a while since my contract in Toronto was to start the next day after much aggravation. The weather was cloudy and dim but I went to Merritton anyway.

  • 0823 Merritton - CN 421 east - CN 2694-CN 5764

...and then it began to snow.

  • 0924 Merritton - CN 331 west - CN 5718-CN 2570

...with really large flakes.

  • 1012 Merritton - Via 97 east - AMTK 713

But it calmed down a bit after 97.

  • 1033 Merritton - CN 422 west - CN 2671-CN 2447
  • 1035 Merritton - NS 328 east - NS 8723-NS 6675

The NI dispatcher informed a foreman that train 567 would be switching Stark lumber in St. Catharines. I'd never seen a local here before so that was something new for me.

  • 1104 Merritton - CN 567 west - CN 4122-CN 4118
Alright. I couldn't take it any more. The weather was getting worse so I packed it in and went home.
