A great day for a P.A. Day. Thanks to the timely FPON heads-up we wolfed down our lunch and made a bee-line for Copetown. CREX 1506 looked sharp in the sunshine and quickly-melting snow. Two lessons learned: (1) My oldest son's camera is highly inadequate for train photography and (2) when my youngest son says "kinda wet" when asked if his feet are wet in actuality means they couldn't be any wetter. Fun times. It was a nice day to get out.

    Yeah this looks nice! I like these units; I got a shot on a cloudy day but it looks better in sun :)

    Glad you caught it!! Was I right that it’s a GP9 trailing?

    Thanks for the heads-up Dave! I’m still working on a witty response to Mr. Geezer, er, I mean Mr. Mooney.

    If the trailing GTW GP9 is 4620, it was bought by LDS Sarnia and sent in error by CN to Buffalo on 421.
    Should be at Sarnia now being rblt
