Weather forecasts really are useless. According to last night's report today was to be mostly cloudy. When I awoke the sky was remarkably clear. For a change of pace I crossed the border to check out CSX and Norfolk Southern.

The light angle was starting to worsen so I moved to Lake Avenue in Blasdel. Train Q362 was parked south of the crossing when I arrived. I heard on the scanner that CSX had a derailment at Union Road. I wasn't stopping traffic though. Later I read that four cars of vegetables derailed off the bridge onto Union Road. Doh!

Well, the sun dipped below the South Buffalo tracks behind me and ended my light. I called it a productive day and returned to Canada.
