Trackside Log for Saturday, June 7, 2003
Today I was leaving Sault Ste. Marie. I'd been there for three weeks and was feeling rather homesick. The only goal I had before departure was to photograph the Agawa Canyon Tour Train. This was its inaugural run for the season so I made my way to the casino for a photograph. It was a dreary morning but at least I saw it.
- Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario - AC 3 north - CN 5736-CN 5600
The train certainly didn't have the romance it once had with the Algoma Central F-units pulling it. Oh well. Time to head back home.
The only stop I made on the way home was in Mactier to see if Canadian Pacific had anything on hand. A power set was parked in the yard and train 274 was at the south siding switch.
- Mactier, Ontario - CP power - CP 9548-CP 9569-CP 5623
- Mactier, Ontario - CP 274 south - CP 9586
At long last I was back home. It had been a rewarding three weeks in Sault Ste. Marie both from a career and from a photography point of view.

Trackside Log for Friday, June 6, 2003
This was the final day of my contract at Algoma Steel. Like usual I drove past the Huron Central Railway yard before work. Today train 912 east was staged at Pim Street with the LLPX locomotive I'd seen over the last few days.
- Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario - HCRY 912 east - HCRY 3011-LLPX 2261-HCRY 3010
After a photograph I headed to the steel plant for the last time.
