Trackside Log for Wednesday, October 4, 2006

Today Sam and I continued our trek across Saskatchewan searching for grain elevators. We followed rails the entire day but didn't find any trains until the afternoon in Canora. The power from yesterday's train 885 was parked there with some other locomotives.

• 1535 CST Canora, SK - CN power - CN 8023-CN 5673
• 1535 CST Canora, SK - CN power - CN 2427
• 1535 CST Canora, SK - CN power - CN 4795

Grain train 853 left Canora while I was photographing the parked power so we decided to give chase.

• 1613 CST Buchanan, SK - CN 853 west - CN 9581-CN 5786-CN 5557
• 1634 CST Rama, SK - CN 853 west - CN 9581-CN 5786-CN 5557
• 1649 CST Invermay, SK - CN 853 west - CN 9581-CN 5786-CN 5557
• 1717 CST Kuroki, SK - CN 853 west - CN 9581-CN 5786-CN 5557

The sun was getting low and it was getting late so we called it quits. We decided to stay the night in Wadena.
