Trackside Log for Sunday, July 2, 2006

After yesterday's disappointment I wasn't in a hurry. I left home at approximately 1130 and shortly thereafter heard from the CN NI dispatcher that CP train 256 would be meeting a westbound at Robbins. I drove directly there without realizing that the westbound was a Norfolk Southern detour train.

• 1200 Robbins - CN F329 west (NS detour) - NS 9748-NS 2552

Crazy! I spent all day Saturday hoping for a detour and managed to fluke onto one the next day. Train 329 was pulling into the yard at Port Robinson so I figured I could catch it pulling in.

• 1225 Port Robinson - CN F329 west (NS detour) - NS 9748-NS 2552

I waited around for a while for train 329 to leave the yard but it took too long. I made my way to Binbrook.
