Trackside Log for Thursday, October 12, 2006

Today I went to Merritton to see the Maple Leaf. It turned out to be a busy time. Trains 421 and 332 were both waiting for it with 422 not far off.

• 1018 Merritton - Via 97 east - AMTK 90
• 1023 Merritton - CN 332 west - CN 5380-CN 5377

Trains 332 and 421 met in front of me. Consequently I was unable to see train 421 well. I had to peer between train 332's autoracks.

• 1026 Merritton - CN 421 east - CN 5664-CN 24xx-CN 41xx
• 1036 Merritton - CN 422 west - CN 2400-GCFX 6075

After the rush I drove up to Welland Pipe to see if any of the BNSF SD70ACe's were around. No. I called it quits thereafter.
