That is a great shot Tony… I am surprised the Nephton train is running Tuesday…I thought they were a M, W, F trip. Judging by the number of hoppers the mine has picked up, back in the early days of C-19 it only a trickle of cars…
Runs eastbound Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. Westbound Monday, Wednesday and Friday. T08 and T07 are the respective IDs.
Sorry Michael I realize now I’d misinterpreted your comment. I believe they go to the mines the morning of their westbound runs, so MWF are Nephton days yes.
Thanks for the info, jknott86. Do you know what time the crew are called, when I have seen the train recently, it has been at around 1130 in Peterborough. Today there were four locomotives and quite a number of hoppers.
I have been told in the past that T08 is on their way out of Toronto by 0800 usually (although like most trains there’s give or take there). When I chased the westbound trip last December they were headed up to Nephton from Havelock well before sunrise.
Thanks James, I figured with your PTBO connection that would know this. I see the train behind my cottage on Kasshabog Lake M,W,F, pretty regularly, it used to arrive at Nephton for 9:00 am, but this past summer it is much earlier, maybe 7:30..Michael
