Railpictures.ca - Todd Steinman Photo: It’s almost time again this year, for extra trains to run. Last year, I received a tip from fellow rp.ca contributor Luke Bellefleur, that there was an extra 514 that worked and came back from Blenheim. However the crew ran out of time and had to call it a day. This meant that 438 would have to swing over to the former CSX yard to lift 514, rather than at the normal pickup location at Keil Drive. Sadly for me, I ran out of time too that evening and just missed seeing 438 lift 514. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
