The morning was quite sunny so I attempted to photograph something in it. As luck would have it, Canadian Pacific was rather busy. Three trains were all in Welland. I decided that the two southbounds were the attractive options. I'd forego train 135 north.
- 0939 Welland - CP 256 south - CP 8829-CP 9823-CP 9639
- 0952 Welland - CP 254 south - CP 9581-CP 9563
Since I was near Canadian National's Southern Yard I drove by to see if there was anything of interest there. Luck was with me. A tiny bit of sun was left for me to photograph a pair of UK JT42CWRM's.
- 1014 Welland - EMD export power - EMDX EU06-EMDX EU07
Just as I finished the last shot I ran out of sunshine. Good timing, eh? Then I returned home feeling pretty satisfied. I had the scanner on at home and eventually heard train 255 north get a clearance out of Welland. It was getting dark but I figured I could get a couple shots in.
- 1740 Fenwick - CP 255 north - CP 5735-CP 5836-CP 9003
The train was creeping because they only had a clearance up to mile 27 (this is mile 26). I drove ahead to shoot it again. I don't get to see SD40-2 consists much any more so I figured it was worthwhile.
- 1749 Fenwick - CP 255 north - CP 5735-CP 5836-CP 9003
