Trackside Log for Tuesday, July 4, 2006

As I left work today I heard CN train 329, a Norfolk Southern detour, talking to the NI dispatcher about leaving Robbins. I immediately changed course for Cook's Mills.

• 1714 Cook's Mills - CN F329 west (NS detour) - NS 8646-NS 9364

The CN crew were going to wye the power in Port Robinson so I drove home, got my gear, and made for the old swing bridge in Thorold.

• 1806 Thorold - Via 98 west - AMTK 68
• 1845 Thorold - CN F329 west (NS detour) - NS 9364-NS 8646

It's quite difficult to photograph a freight crossing the swing bridge in good light so I'm happy to have accomplished it.
