Trackside Log for Saturday, September 17, 2011

This was the weekend of Binbrook Fair and I was on my way to Aldershot to pick Sam up from the train station. Her train wasn't due until 1357 so I had plenty of time to photograph some trains beforehand. First I decided to meet up with The Maple Leaf at Grimsby station.

  • 0932 Grimsby - VIA 97 east - AMTK 124

Next I headed on over to Lemonville Road in Aldershot to see what Canadian National was running for the morning. As it turned out, nothing. I wound up reading much of the book Mystery by Jonathan Kellerman. The Canadian National Oakville Subdivision was asleep. It wasn't until the mid-day VIA trains when I saw something rolling down the rails.

  • 1241 Aldershot - VIA 72 east - VIA 916
  • 1302 Aldershot - VIA 73 west - VIA 6427
  • 1304 Aldershot - CN 148 east - CN 8956-IC 2712-CN 5738

Unfortunately train 422 sneaked by me after 148. However, it was then time for Sam's train. I picked her up and we drove to Binbrook and the annual fall fair. It was a perfect weekend for it.

  1. The nice thing about late summer and fall are the fairs. Plus the perfect weather...most often clear , sunny and cool. Great for picture taking.
