On an overcast day in Thunder Bay, I didn't really feel like taking cloudy shots around town so I decided I'd go for a little road trip west along the Trans Canada to Ignace, after hearing that this pair was still tied down in the yard. Worst case scenario I figured I'd at least see some new sights along the way. As I got closer to Igance, the sun started making the odd appearance, and I managed to get a little break in the clouds for a few shots of CP 5866 and CP 3649. Despite the clouds, it was a rather hot day so I treated myself to a swim in Agimak Lake afterwards - what more could you ask for in July? This shot was taken a little over two weeks after David Young took this image of Ignace.

    Interesting. 3649 led an oil train on the Galt Sub in Jan 2015, when it was UP still. I believe I have a shot of it on here. There seems to always be good power up that way.
