Trackside Log for Sunday, June 4, 2006

By the early afternoon the clearing skies gave me the encouragement I required to make my way trackside and canalside. First I drove to lock 7 to see the Algowood and the tug Michigan. Canal traffic was very light so I headed to the Canadian National tracks in Merritton. The goal was to see the Maple Leaf and any freight CN decided to grace me with.

• 1746 Merritton - CN 330 east - CN 5244-CN 5706
• 1833 Merritton - Via 98 west - AMTK 111

Via 98 was approximately 30 minutes late. I wasn't too surprised. I wasn't likely to see much more so I called it quits.
