Trackside Log for Wednesday, August 19, 2009

As I was driving home from work today I heard Canadian Pacific train 247 on the scanner approaching Welland. Since the railway has been primarily noctournal of late I stopped at home, grabbed a camera and headed trackside to have a look.

  • 1657 Fenwick - CP 247 north - CP 9516-CP 8880-CP 8705-CP 9588

Then I was back home. After some basketball, at about dusk a northbound acquired a clearance so I figured I'd walk to the tracks for a look. Remember what I said about a noctournal railway?

  • 2029 Fenwick - CP 255 north - CP 9634-CP 9619

Since train 255 was meeting a southbound in Smithville I kept an ear on the scanner. Eventually it showed up and I walked to the crossing just for fun.

  • 2132 Fenwick - CP 254 south - CP 8882-CP 9672

Afterward it was back to washing dishes.
