Today was the Copetown railroad show and the weather was beautiful. I got a fairly early start to catch Via 70 with the Superbowl engine.

After 385 I visited the train show for a while before returning home. On the way home I stopped by Aberdeen and RaiLink's yards.

• 1545 Aberdeen Yard, Hamilton - CP 230 power - CP 6056-CP 5768-CP 5669

There was essentially nothing at RaiLink. Only 1201 and 4200 were present. It was a nice day although there were few trains. A number of people dropped by throughout the day and we had some good chatter.
