Caption: Here is a story about just how far I have been willing to go in railfanning. With no access to a ride and being a newcomer to the railfan community that had buy n' large missed every other dash 8 leader opportunity, I seized this one with great effort when I realized Q102 would be running too late for daylight in the Toronto region. I planned an elaborate day trip to Sudbury via the daily Ontario Northland bus service from Toronto to Sudbury followed by a local bus ride to Capreol to ensure I was in the right place at the right time. I packed all 3 meals with me for the day to save time and money for this trip; and looking back, I certainly gambled with sub-par odds of seeing this thing by doing so. Nevertheless, the effort paid off and I am forever grateful to have seen at least one lead. Here Q102 finishes a 40-minute layover in Capreol, never failing to waste a second after it had a lengthy meet in LaForest Ontario. It would go on to travel the entire CN portion of the Bala Subdivision in under 8 hours, even outpacing my bus ride home.
