Trackside Log for Monday, March 5, 2012

This morning I had two appointments in Hamilton. By the time I was finished it was nearly lunch time. I decided to have it next to the railway tracks. En route to Wendy's in Aldershot I stopped by the Southern Ontario Railway's yard in town. A GP38 was busy switching the east end of the yard and a variety of other power was parked through out the yard.

  • 1126 Hamilton - SOR switcher - RLK 3873
  • 1126 Hamilton - SOR power - RLK 4057
  • 1131 Hamilton - SOR power - RMPX 9431
  • 1132 Hamilton - SOR power - RLK 1757-RLK 1808-SOR 5005-RLK 1755
  • 1135 Hamilton - SOR power (in front of shop) - CEFX 2019

The rather ugly looking RMPX GP40-2W has received a new red rear end. It doesn't really help its appearance much.

Once sustenance was obtained I headed over to the Lemonville Road overpass to see what would transpire. Canadian National was quite idle so I settled for the pair of mid-day VIA trains.

  • 1229 Aldershot - VIA 72 east - VIA 6441
  • 1258 Aldershot - VIA 73 west - VIA 913

Then it was on to Jarvis and back to the office. On the way I noticed that the Southern Ontario Railway's Nanticoke train was still parked on the main track in Garnet. I stopped for a quick photograph.

  • 1352 Garnet - SOR 596 south - CEFX 2015-CEFX 2006-CEFX 2014

It's nice when you can intersperse some photography with your work day.
