I arrived at Galt yard to find it full of track maintenance vehicles. At 1.45pm a mixed freight with a lot of coil cars and steel plates arrived heading east with locos CP 9609,8535,8811 and 9361 heading in "elephant formation". Immediately the train cleared and the track maintenance fired up to head west.

13:12 and this westbound ran through the station with CN8103 and CSX5117 for power. Having spent a few days recently following CSX power in Buffalo, it was only apt that my return to Canadian rails should have this as a second loco.

Having arrived later than normal I was surprised to see 2815 stopped on the yard. One of the other photographers there, told me they were having trouble with the trailing unit-NS SD60 6707. After a west bound passed on the north track the train headed east rapidly picking up speed on the south track!

Whilst in Princeton waiting for 331 I heard on the scanner that CP9673 was seeking permission to travel west from Wolverton. I travelled the 10km to the west of Drumbo at Gobles Rd crossing in time to meet the train of all autoracks. It was well worth the trip when I saw the second unit was CSX 141. I still got back in time to catch 331 and another west bound freight.

At last a freight on the viaduct! Having seen the green light at Paris Junction I managed to reach the viaduct downtown with plenty of time to spare. With one eye on the water snake sunning itself next to me I was surprised to see an oil train with all CN power CN 2221, 2525 and 5505.

After being at Brantford yesterday and not seeing a train in the three hours I was there, I was hoping for a change of fortune! Within 30 minute there was a train in each direction. At 9:25 an eastbound with a lot of tank cars led by 8879, 1034 and UP 8706 passed I believe the scanner said #350?

Sometimes I am in awe of the power of North American locos. 2333 on it's own pulling I believe train 148 up the bank at Woodstock at a good speed. I am aware that there were a lot of empty intermodal flats on the train but there were a fair number of autoracks and box cars making up the consist.
