This was another day of the Canada Day weekend that Missy and I chose to spend relaxing. However, upon hearing train 255 obtain a clearance from Brookfield East to Kinnear, I took Missy over to Welland Yard for a look. Before it arrived I photographed the recently delivered GP9s for the yard jobs. The first, CP 8249, still has the metal plates over the grille behind the cab that once carried the yellow stripe of its original maroon and grey paint. At that time it was numbered CP 8830.
- 1334 Welland - CP power - CP 8249
Well, actually I only photographed one of the two GP9s. I was interrupted by the arrival of train 255.
- 1348 Welland - CP 255 north - CP 8881-CP 8882
The consecutively numbered ES44ACs on the train was interesting. After the train had rolled off northward I returned to take a quick photograph of the other GP9.
- 1357 Welland - CP power - CP 8231
After the half hour of entertainment I took Missy back home only to head back out again later in the afternoon. Train 246 south was approaching with a pair of CSX locomotives in the consist.
- 1717 Fenwick - CP 246 south - CP 8795-CP 9629-CSXT 108-CSXT 7606-CP 6061
The clouds were toying with me but I managed a reasonably decent photograph of the train. At least it wasn't raining or the middle of the night.
