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.
