It's been a while since I got the opportunity to shoot CP 147 with interesting power. I have not shot a CP SD60 wide cab ex-SOO locomotive in a long while so this was an opportunity I seized. Here is 147 with CP 6259 and BNSF 5248 on the point on a gorgeous Friday afternoon. According to locomotive tracing, it arrived in Wolverton at 1649. It departed just over an hour later, at 1756, after completing its work at Wolverton. I thought it may be a long shot since I departed Hamilton around 1645. But, I planned my route carefully and took a real backdoor way to get to the west end of Wolverton from all the way east at Highway 6, beginning on Safari Rd :) (side note: the 401 was gridlocked from Hwy 6 North Guelph so that was not an option at all!).
