Trackside Log for Saturday, August 22, 2009

This morning I was upstairs working on the computer when I heard the horns of a southbound Canadian Pacific train. Well the sun was out so I grabbed the camera. On the way to my chosen photographic location I could see that some rain clouds were imminent.

• 0950 Fenwick - CP 246 south - CP 9545-STLH 5651

I got rather lucky with the photograph. I managed to grab the last vestiges of sunshine before the sky clouded over.

Later in the day I heard train 247 obtain a clearance from Brookfield East to Kinnear with the same power from the morning's train 246.

• 2025 Fenwick - CP 247 north - CP 9545-STLH 5651

Shortly after the train passed through town the dispatcher informed the crew of train 247 that they'd have to set off cars 8 through 29 in Vinemount siding.
