After sitting for several days tied down in Milton, the CWR train was finally ready to lay some rail down the Hamilton Sub. It then had to wait for several trains to make their ways up and down the Sub before heading down itself. First, CPKC 239 made its way up and cleared west. The second was CPKC 238 which headed down light power. Thirdly, CPKC 236 made its way down followed closely by the CWR train. The SD40's drew quite the crowd as they finally made their way down. SD40-2F, CP 9017, with SD40-2, 6011 lead the CWR train up to the 3rd line as they head south to lay rail along the Hamilton Sub. The bright sun and nice clean paint made for a good day.

    Nice catch Bill, love the Red barns but I guess there’s not that many now left to see.

    Thank you guys. It is nice to see bright red instead of the usual dirty dull red and in bright sun. Double win
