TRRY 1859
Title:  TRRY 1859

Title:  TRRY 1859
Description:  Lots of buzz around #1859 today. Still haven't figured out what the caboose is all about. Maybe it's a lounge?

CP 7012
Title:  CP 7012
Description:  Catch of the Day is Heritage CP locomotive SD70ACu #7012 and sister 7059 actually switching the yard - building Train 151, paired with another SD70ACu. Note the other units watching in the distance. The closest is yet another rare locomotive, a rebuilt SD60M. Very nice.

Title:  CN 3040
Description:  Pulling forward to clear the switches. I didn't know it at the time, but I would soon chase the train several kilometers over to Biggar Road, where it finally came to a stop - before pushing the whole train back onto the yard tracks.

Description:  Train 562 heads back into the yard. It's still raining pretty steady, almost impossible to keep the camera lens clear of the misty rain, so that's enough trains (and ships) for today.

CP 2242
Title:  CP 2242
Description:  Two years ago CP trimmed down all the heavy bushes that lined the Welland Yard for miles - literally from one end to the other. And for two years I've been able to get some pics looking across and into the small yard. But the bushes are back this year with a vengeance, and slowly but surely are taking over once again. I had to climb onto the back of my car bumper just to clear the shrubbery in this shot.
