After a tip from a friend about CP 246 having an excellent leader, off I went to start the chase. It started at the Campbellville junction of the Hamilton sub and ended here at Newman Road. CP 7021, all decked out in its sand color scheme to represent the Canadian and US army vehicle paint color, glides out from under the Highway six bridge on its way for a stop at Kinnear Yard. This was a tough chase as the whole train was just over 760 feet long so it maintained good track speed on the way down the hill through Waterdown.

    Perfect. A plaque should be put in the pavement marking “Your Spot”.
