Probably my favourite catch on NS trains 327 / 328 from all the ones I saw. The later years of NS operations in Southern Ontario found a lot of foreign power kicking around. At the time I believe there were only 2 CNW painted Dash-9's left on UP's roster, so when word got out that the previous days 327 had this consist, I prayed the CNW would lead 328 the next day. As luck would have it things worked out as I caught it heading around the "cow path" at Hamilton West, and a lot of railfans headed out this day.

    This one and another one escaped the paint booth for ages. I believe, they were yanked out of the Illinois Railway Museum where they had been stored, and off to to the paintbooth.

    Correct me if I’m wrong.

    That sounds like the story I heard as well.

    Caught this one at Grimsby. I agree it is one of the better catches. And I do recall thinking there would be a lot of people out for it, so stayed close to home, where I would have the scene all to myself. :o )

    This same one led in Montreal in 2015 on CN 529.
