Trackside Log for Sunday, October 4, 2009

I was home cataloguing slides when I heard the horn of a northbound Canadian Pacific train approaching. I dashed up to the crossing to take a look.

The remaining few trains on the Canadian Pacific Hamilton Subdivision have been rather long lately. This morning's train was as well. After a while a southbound announced mile sign Boyle so I walked out behind my property to see it.

It was beginning to rain so I hustled back into the house. After walking my dog, Missy I heard train 255 leaving Welland Yard. Once again I walked back behind my house for a photograph.

After train 255 passed by I walked back to my house where I heard it hit the detector at mile 27.8 with 612 axles. Like I said, the trains here are pretty big these days.

Later on in the afternoon train 246 triggered the detector at mile 27.8.

OK, so 246 was actually pretty short.
