Caption: Geez. Talk about pea soup disgusting grubby weather !!! As it has been said, over and over; the best trains run in lousy weather.
I'm up on the Lemonville Road bridge in Aldershot this morning around 1030-ish as CN #422 slows up to take to Aldershot Yard.
Seen from the bridge: CN 3051, 3179, 3240, 3064 and five 'new' locomotives from Erie PA heading to the QNSL, 439, 440, 446, 442 and 443; all facing backwards. I guess I was lucky, as the weather only got worse.

Rebuilt BNSF units Arnold! There should be 4 more at some point to complete the order!
I’m glad you have a total. I was thinking the total order was 19, rather than 18. Seems like a lot of new power for this outfit.
Nice catch! I gave up waiting for it.
Where’s all the snow?!
Well sir; after this photo was taken the rain ramped up and it poured all afternoon. That is where the snow went. I know you are jealous, but this winter too, shall pass.
We had lots from about mid-Jan to mid-Feb but then several days well above 0 and the rain as Arnold mentioned and now it is gross again.
