Trackside Log for Saturday, April 1, 2006

My first goal for the day was to photograph the ship Cuyahoga in the Welland Canal. Well that didn't work out. It made Lake Erie far earlier than was light enough to photograph. There was little traffic scheduled for the canal so I headed to Fort Erie to see what train traffic might present itself.

• 0932 Fort Erie - CN 339 east - CN 2535-CSXT 4821

After photographing 339 under dark skies from the Centre Street bridge I went back to the International Bridge to photograph it again switching. Somehow I got insanely lucky and the sun came out long enough for a few photos.

• 0957 Fort Erie - CN 339 east - CN 2535-CSXT 4821
• 1051 Fort Erie - CP 248 east - CP 9710
• 1226 Fort Erie - NS 328 east - BNSF 4770-NS 5101
• 1319 Fort Erie - CP 889 west - CP 9773

I wanted to start home so I decided to photograph 889 again.

• 1349 Brookfield - CP 889 north - CP 9773

I'd had enough fun for the day so I returned home.
