Just before Missy's walk this evening I heard on the scanner that Canadian Pacific train 247 was departing Buffalo, New York. I had plenty of time to get the walk in before it got to town. Later I discovered that the train would be lifting train 255's freight along with three engines from Welland Yard. That would take some time and I was worried it was going to get very dark before it finished. You see, two of those engines were brand new ES44ACs CP 8904 and CP 8903. Eventually they departed and I had just enough light for some photographs.
- 1915 Fenwick - CP 247 north - CEFX 1050-SOO 6032-CP 9658-CP 8904-CP 8903
Since there is still a slow order between mile 23, where I took the above photographs, and mile 26 in Fenwick, one can easily drive ahead for a second photograph. I drove to Farr Street for another shot at the train.
- 1927 Fenwick - CP 247 north - CEFX 1050-SOO 6032-CP 9658-CP 8904-CP 8903
It was getting dark very quickly but I managed to squeeze in the photograph. Once all 9000 feet of train had left town I drove back home where Missy was happy to see me. She even got to play with Riley, my neighbour's dog.
