I had know this CP 234 was making its way eastward as a solo BNSF 4739 but was thinking, as usual, it will terminate before it gets here. I was doing a bit of yard work when a got a message that it had arrived at Galt so I headed off to this close spot to catch it figuring I had plenty of time. I parked the truck and got out to the sound of a horn at Victoria Road so I raced through the grass and barely got in to position for this shot. UP 7467 was added to the power to make this even better. The tracker is a great thing but sometimes its off by a bit and can give us all fits.

    Yup don’t trust the trace to be accurate. Clerks change it all and it can be wildly inaccurate.
