Trackside Log for Sunday, October 8, 2006

Today was my family's thanksgiving get-together. Unfortunately the occassion was somewhat sombre this year because my grandfather passed away a few days earlier. Dinner was at my cousin's house near Flamborough so I decided to meander my way there via Copetown and Guelph Junction.

• 1230 Copetown - CN 390 east - WC 6497-GTW 5949
• 1252 Copetown - CN 393 west - CN 2621-CN 2541
• 1300 Copetown - Via 72 east - VIA 911
• 1303 Copetown - Via 73 west - VIA 6428

I didn't feel like hanging around at Copetown any longer so I left for Guelph Junction hoping Canadian Pacific would run at least one train.

• 1611 Guelph Junction - CP 198 east - CP 8536-SOO 6038

As soon as train 198 passed a signal went up for a westbound. I thought a nice photograph could be had at the Mountsburg Conservation Area. I waited for quite a while, but eventually it arrived.

• 1730 Mountsburg - CP 153 west - CP 9575-CP 9648

After the westbound it was time for dinner.
