Trackside Log for Sunday, October 15, 2006

When I woke this morning I thought I'd check out the day's Maple Leaf. I made my way to Merritton to wait. Just before it arrived bridge 6 was raised. Well, at least it would be easy to photograph.

• 1028 Merritton - Via 97 east - AMTK 41

I could see nice sunny skies to the south so I migrated to Port Robinson. As I approched I heard train 331 departing.

• 1045 Port Robinson - CN 331 west - CN 5638-CN 5789
• 1116 Welland - ITS switcher - Shaw no#-BNSF 9349-BNSF 9353

It was clearing nicely so I made my way back to Merritton to see train 327 again. It took quite a while because it stopped to close some doors on its train.

• 1312 Merritton - NS 327 west - UP 3911-UP 4670
• 1325 Merritton - CN 338 west - CN 5794-CN 2598-CN 2539

I was getting tired and felt like returning home so I obeyed my little voice and drove home.
