The dullest days bring out the best trains. I had been hanging around Parry Sound station again, hoping to catch something in the "interesting leasers" department, as around this time CP was grabbing any locomotive they could get their hands on. Or so it seemed. I knew there were a handful of Kennecott Copper units roaming around, and couldn't believe my luck actually catching one. And standing on the rocks opposite the station was the best place to be, seeing the unit was third in the consist. Too bad for a very dull windy dark day, it made getting a good sharp image rather difficult. But this shot of CP 5591, 5521 and KCC 106 coming off the big Parry Sound trestle was certainly better than nothing.

  1. Nice shot Mr. M. Lots of Multi-Mark equipment in that shot. I’m sure anything you get “thirty Years after” – this coming June will not be as photogenic and probably travels through there at night.
