I was headed to get my grandson from school and was stopped at the red light at Watson road and York when across the street the railroad signals started flashing. I jumped out the car and grabbed the camera and around the bend came this guy. CN 9450 with CN 4908 and CN 4906 flying by was a nice surprise because at 2:30pm there is usually nothing to be found. A little luck never hurts.

    Looks like a 540 going to Acton.

    I thought it was 540 but have learned its better to write nothing than to guess and be wrong
