Trackside Log for Thursday, December 30, 2010

This evening I heard Canadian Pacific train 246 obtain a clearance from the Hamilton Subdivision dispatcher from mile 36 to the north siding switch Welland. I took my camera along for my walk with Missy and timed it so I could photograph the train at Foss Road.

  • 1631 Fenwick - CP 246 south - CP 9713-SOO 6035

It is rather dark at this time in December but I managed to eke out a photograph. Of note is that CP 9713 still wears evidence of the Christmas lights used during its employ as the Holiday Train years earlier.

Later in the evening I heard train 247 north obtain their clearance through town. I took Missy out to watch it pass through in the dark before bed time.

  • 2303 Fenwick - CP 247 north - SOO 6022-CITX 3095-CITX 3066-ICE 6452

The motive power was from ethanol train 626 from the night of the 27th. Unfortunately all the ethanol trains have been running the Hamilton Subdivision in the dark of late.
