Not everyday is ideal for train watching but the grey wet day allows photographs to be taken from the other side of the tracks. Normally I would be looking into the sun! CN 3080 and CN3103 pass the newly formed pond heading west with a very mixed freight. The rain has been non-stop for days.

The Toyota to Wolverton local heads east through the snow flurries at Gobles Road crossing. It blew up enough wind and snow to send my hat flying into the farmer's field.

Last week I was caught out when two trains passed each other. Today knowing two were about to meet again I hurriedly got onto the road overpass to the west of the station and caught this westbound Autorack just before an eastbound mixed freight passed.

The first outing this year to Gobles Road crossing to the west of Drumbo I was surprised by the reallocation of the signals. The eastbound Herzog is on it's way to Wolverton.
