CP 6043 charges West at a blistering 30mph, unlike the year prior, the spray train wasted no time as it worked it's way West, however, not without trouble. After arriving in Windsor, the crew had very little options to wye the train for its run down the Hamilton Sub the following day. No passport meant no going over into Detroit, no permission to use the private wye in Windsor as well. The solution? Well, they decided to run the train back West with the power on the wrong end. London not having a wye, ( I believe the EMD plant has one but still lacking permission to use it ) left Galt and GUE as the two main options, the latter being chosen to wye the train.

Just like anything in life, nothing ever goes to plan, it's all part of the fun.

  1. Great catch! Like how you used what appears to be an old farmers path…no longer in use as it doesnt cross the track anymore.
