Trackside Log for Saturday, April 24, 2010

Today I was working on my computer with the scanner on when Canadian Pacific train 246 south called up the Hamilton Subdivision dispatcher for another clearance. At the same time the defect detector at mile 27.8 went off so I didn't have much time to go for a photograph. I quickly got Missy and my camera and drove to River Road.

  • 1111 Fenwick - CP 246 south - CP 8542-SOO 6035

Well look at that. It's the same locomotive consist as train 426 from two days ago.

Later in the afternoon I was experimenting with some photographic processing on the computer when I heard another southbound obtain a clearance from the Hamilton Subdivision dispatcher. This time I had plenty of time to intercept so I chose nearby Sumbler Road for a photograph.

  • 1426 Fenwick - CP 426 south - CP 9641-CP 9605

After the relatively short train passed by I returned home.

Later in the evening as I was making some nachos to watch a movie I heard train 427 north approaching.

  • 1945 Fenwick - CP 427 north - SOO 6049-CITX 3083-CP 6055

After watching it roll by in the twilight I resumed my movie.
