Back before CN abolished Sarnia to Port Robinson trains 330 and 331 we used to be treated to a mid day Westbound freight on the Dundas Sub daily.  331 was a freight that often ended up with interesting power and was an easy one to chase due to it working Paris Ontario to lift SOR traffic.  On February 11, 2016 I found myself standing at Copetown Ontario waiting on 331 with CN 2010 and CN 5462, a pair of standard cabs...not too shabby.  As soon as the head end passed me I highballed for Garden Avenue, beating them there by 5 minutes for a second shot.

  1. Perfectly timed photo Joseph. It has been pretty hot in Edmonton the last few days and seeing that snow is like ahhhh, fresh & cool. :-)

  2. CN… still able to lash together something worth shooting. Nice catch, Bish.

    5462 btw.
