Railpictures.ca - Geoff Elliott Photo: On a hot August morning back in 1992 I received a call from my Grandmother in Coatsworth that the train went by her house and was heading for Wheatley. I high-tailed it to Wheatley and waited for the local to show up. With CSX (Chessie) 2002 on point we have the local spotting 2 cars into the Wheatley Elevators facility. On top of the mill we have an on-looker who is surely wondering WTH I’m doing, but no matter. I followed 2002 as it shoved it’s train from Wheatley back to Blenheim, having to give up the chase in Merlin as I had to head to work. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
