Caption: Me and a buddy made our way to Toronto yard on the morning of December 4th as we knew a work train was showing to dump CWR on the Mactier sub. Instead, we arrive to "the plow train" calling in the yard over the scanner. As they depart Toronto yard with Jordan Spreader CP 402894 and SD40-2 CP 5920, they tell RTC the plan: "up the Mactier sub, picking up a foreman in Midhurst, plowing maybe Medonte, definitely Buckskin & Bala; leave the plow in Bala and light power to Mactier. And the chase was on! Here they are ducking under the infamous 9th Line bridge near Beeton ON.
