Trackside Log for Saturday, November 22, 2008

Today I figured I would make the drive to Copetown and the Canadian National Dundas Subdivision to see what traffic might show up for the afternoon. Based on the time of my arrival I expected the pair of lunchtime Via trains to be first but I was wrong. An eastbound freight snuck in before them.

  • 1300 Copetown - CN eastbound - CN 5349-IC 6001
  • 1305 Copetown - VIA 73 west - VIA 6453
  • 1325 Copetown - VIA 72 east - VIA 6431
  • 1400 Copetown - CN 385 west - CN 5627-CN 2564
  • 1425 Copetown - CN 393 west - CN 5644-IC 1039-IC 6071

After 393 passed I heard on the scanner that train 435 would be working Aldershot shortly. I drove down to take a look at it and managed to find a couple other trains first. I also noticed that the longtime Aldershot landmark, Aldershot Cold Storage, was in the process of being demolished. It was kind of sad to see so I made sure that I photographed train 422 passing by one last time.

  • 1454 Aldershot - CN 547 west - CN 7018-CN 4129
  • 1619 Aldershot - CN 422 east - CN 5377-CN 5363-CN 4130
  • 1551 Aldershot - CN 435 west - CN 8021-CN 2409-CN 253-CN 7260 (photo)

The light was diminishing quickly so I called it a day.
