Wow, so many opportunities for this to not happen yet it worked out. You should by a lottery ticket. I think somebody’s becoming a CP fan!
Americans will enjoy it…
Just to add to the odds this train defied, ATM, part of that convo at Welland with the ATM including trying to get them to wye the power on a wye that hasn’t existed for years. Who says track removal is always a bad thing?
whoops, ignore the first “ATM” in that comment and it will make more sense.
What I don’t get is the “improper paperwork” for Customs? Why? Not to sound snarky.
Not the first time units have sat in Welland on account of paperwork. Some of the SD40-2s that have been sold off over the past year-ish sat in Welland for weeks due to paperwork issues. Certainly not without precedent.
Great shot! Does anyone know if that TRE unit is in a shootable location? Unless it went out on 246 today…I think it’s pretty cool.
Kevin, it was set off by the yard office
I asked the TRE question in another post..thanks for clarifying here. Now the wye..it’s not there anymore but the crew thought the track was still in place?
ATM at London seemed to think that they could wye at Welland but that was not the case, they’d have had to run down to the CN and wye at Robbins I believe.
Correct Joe, the only wye they would have access to down there is Robbins. They’ve done it before – I believe it was around Christmas Eve when 246 turned at Welland to head back to Toronto, and they wyed at Robbins instead of switching ends.
Wouldn’t they have to run down to that wye anyway to reach CN Stamford to cross into the States? Sorry I don’t know the lay of the land apart from discussion here and Google Satellite/Earth.
