The intense snowsquall has finally subsided on this cold and snowy Valentine's Day 2015, revealing CP 640 waiting on the main at Orrs Lake siding on the CP Galt Sub. I was delighted to hear that a CP 6259 East was meeting a UP 3643 west (CP 235) at Orrs Lake. Note the solo CP GE (# 8879) ahead of 235.

    Great action. What was the light power’s symbol?

    Yep. Now I need some plow runs :) I have no idea what the symbol was, maybe none? It went to Wolverton and got tacked onto CP 240 later on. This action costed me 711 with the PRR heritage unit but it was worth it :)

    A triple meet is very rare.. not many photographers can claim to have one on camera, let alone with all three sets of power in the shot.
