Trackside Log for Wednesday, March 28, 2007

When I got home after work I set about some tasks that needed doing. At around 1700 or so a surprise southbound passed behind my house. It was quite short and I had no idea what it was. I turned on the scanner and heard it switching the yard in Welland. Evidently it was a Welland turn. It's the first I've heard. Eventually they finished in Welland and turned back north so I ventured out to take a look.

• 1931 Fenwick - CP Welland turn north - STLH 5593-CP 5868

While waiting I heard the train also talk with a train 427 which is also new. It was getting very dark so I went back home for some food.
