This morning when I awoke I turned the scanner on just in case Canadian Pacific decided to shine the rails of the Hamilton Subdivision. I was a bit surprised when the dispatcher issued a clearance to train 255 soon after. She also informed 255 that a loaded ethanol train was parked on the main track in Welland Yard. It was another overcast, damp day but I elected to take Missy for a drive and check out the two trains.
- 0929 Welland - CP 626 south - CP 5677-ICE 6215-DME 6363-NREX 7349
- 0945 Welland - CP 255 north - CP 9505-CP 9773
CP 9505 has had its engine doors replaced at some point and is now devoid of a logo on at least the conductor's side. I didn't see the other side.
While train 255 was slowly rolling through the siding Job 1 was making its way over to the CaSo track to lift some traffic. I took a look as I passed by on my way back to Fenwick.
- 0947 Welland - CP job 1 - CP 8200-CP 8212
I managed to buy some milk from the Avondale in town and get back home before 255 rolled through Fenwick.
- 1011 Fenwick - CP 255 north - CP 9505-CP 9773
Later on after Missy's walk I missed train 246 south led by SOO 6035. But while listening to the scanner I found out that train 626 was being moved to the siding in Brookfield. So in ten hours the train had moved about five miles. After parking the ethanol train the power was wyed on Canadian National and returned to Welland Yard to lift freight and head back north.
- 1856 Fenwick - CP 247 north - CP 5677-ICE 6215-DME 6363-NREX 7349
It was rather dark by this point so I contented myself to listening to it rumble through town.
