Trackside Log for Saturday, May 6, 2006

This morning I met Marcus in Aldershot. The goal was to find some trains in the Brantford area.

  • 0938 Aldershot - CN 271 west - CN 5428-CN 5292
  • 1018 Copetown - CN 396 east - CN 2504-CN 2506
  • 1021 Copetown - CN 271 west - CN 5428-CN 5292
  • 1051 Bethel - CN 382 east - CN 2664-CN 5720
  • 1206 Brantford - CN 394 east - BN 9225-EMDX 9015
  • 1219 Brantford - CN 148 east - CN 6007-CSXT 5961-CN 9590

While train 148 was coming we heard train 580 head down to the old TH&B tracks. We don't get the chance to see 580 work the Brantford industries often so we headed after it.

  • 1327 Mohawk St., Brantford - CN 580 - CN 4117
  • 1330 Market St., Brantford - CN 580 - CN 4117
  • 1423 Grand River Ave., Brantford - CN 580 - CN 4117
  • 1428 Colborne St., Brantford - CN 580 - CN 4117

Train 580 was on its way back to the yard so we returned to the station.

  • 1451 Brantford - CN 393 west - CN 2523-CN 5652
  • 1457 Brantford - CN 580 - CN 4117
  • 1506 Brantford - CN westbound - GCFX 6075-CN 5347

Not long after the westbound Marcus had to head home so we returned to Hamilton. On my way back home I stopped off at RaiLink.

  • 1633 Hamilton - RaiLink power - RLK 1808

There were some boats I wanted to photograph in the canal so I called it a day for the railway.
