Trackside Log for Monday, June 28, 2010

I had just gotten up for the day when I heard a northbound Canadian Pacific train blowing for the many level crossings to the south. I figured I might as well go have a look before I took Missy for her walk. We dashed over to Farr Street to meet it.

  • 0803 Fenwick - CP 255 north - CP 9515-CP 9622-CP 9509-CP 8729

Then it was time for Missy's walk.

Later that evening I had the scanner on and could hear train 426 announcing the slow order between mile 39 and mile 36 of the Hamilton Subdivision. CEFX 1045 was leading so I got my camera and took Missy out to Chantler Road for a photograph. There had been roving storms all day and there were some large cumulonimbus clouds to the north. They made for a rather dramatic backdrop.

  • 1844 Fenwick - CP 426 south - CEFX 1045-CP 9500

Since the background looked so nice I decided to drive ahead and photograph the train again at River Road. I'm liking the 25 mph slow order here.

  • 1848 Fenwick - CP 426 south - CEFX 1045-CP 9500

Feeling rather satisfied with the photographs from the evening I drove back home.
