Just as Missy and I were starting our evening walk I could hear horns approaching from the south. We walked back to the Canadian Pacific tracks in time to see a northbound.
Well, what do you know? Another CEFX AC4400. I'm not sure what this train was since its entire consist was about 12 UTLX tank cars.
Tonight when Missy and I were on our way back from our evening walk we heard horns approaching from the north. We met train 246 at the Foss Road crossing.
A CEFX AC4400 is about as exciting as it gets these days.
Like yesterday I was working from home again. However, I hadn't yet turned the scanner on when I heard horns approaching from the south. I walked out behind my house for a look.
Wow, what a huge train. There was a total of three autoracks today.
Later in the day I heard train 246 call out station name sign Smithville. I took Missy for a short walk to see it.
Then we walked back home.
I was spending the day working from home again. While editing a diagram I left my scanner on to keep an ear on what Canadian Pacific would be doing for the day. Mid-morning yielded a conversation between a work train led by CP 3032 heading to Port Maitland and train 254 which was approaching Smithville. I waited for 254 to near Fenwick before heading to Chantler Road for a photograph.
For a change the sun was shining. After a photograph I picked up some food before heading back to work at home.
Later on, just before getting ready to walk Missy, I heard train 255 obtain a clearance from Welland Yard to Smithville. I took MIssy out behind my house to watch.
Once the train passed us by we continued on our walk.
When out walking Missy I discovered it was going to be a nice sunny day. When we got back home I turned on the scanner and waited for something to happen. Sometime mid morning train 247 arrived at Welland Yard and began working. Once they obtained a clearance to leave I drove over to Farr Street for a photograph.
It wasn't very exciting, but it was something.
I was home cataloguing slides when I heard the horn of a northbound Canadian Pacific train approaching. I dashed up to the crossing to take a look.
The remaining few trains on the Canadian Pacific Hamilton Subdivision have been rather long lately. This morning's train was as well. After a while a southbound announced mile sign Boyle so I walked out behind my property to see it.
It was beginning to rain so I hustled back into the house. After walking my dog, Missy I heard train 255 leaving Welland Yard. Once again I walked back behind my house for a photograph.
After train 255 passed by I walked back to my house where I heard it hit the detector at mile 27.8 with 612 axles. Like I said, the trains here are pretty big these days.
Later on in the afternoon train 246 triggered the detector at mile 27.8.
