This morning Sam, Missy and I departed from Truro, Nova Scotia and passed by the Cape Breton & Central Nova Scotia yard again. Once again nothing interesting was there so we began our journey toward Cape Breton Island. Our first stop was Stellarton where we discovered the road power, a GP9 and a snow plow.

After photographs we continued eastward. We stopped at Port Hawkesbury but were not rewarded with anything to photograph. After a couple Blizzards from Dairy Queen we drove to Sydney. Ten years ago Marcus and I were in Sydney not long after the closure of Sydney Steel and the Devco mine. It was very bleak looking. I discovered that nothing remains of the steel mills and some of the lands have been converted to parkland. Sydney is much less depressing looking than my previous visit.
After some exploration and a visit to Luckenbooth Yarns for Sam, we headed back west again. After another knitting stop at Baadeck Yarns in Baddeck and we were on to Orangedale to visit the railway museum there. The museum looks much the same as my previous visit of a decade ago.

We continued west and stopped off in Stellarton once again. This time the road power was missing. It likely went to Truro. By this time the sun was getting low so we drove directly to our lodging for the evening and to visit with a friend, Shannon, who lives in Halifax.
