TCWR 2004
Title:  TCWR 2004
Description:  In an extremely rare move I'm told, the TCW runs a cut of hoppers down the Camden line under cloudy skies. When heading out I was puzzled when I heard TCWR 2004 asking for a route into Shoreham, so I had to check it out.

CP 805
Title:  CP 805
Description:  Well, since I refused to go to the cliche spot at Dakota I ended up actually doing better than everyone else set up there, barely... I really had to reach down to get the sun pocket, but otherwise I would have been Cloud F***ed like the rest of the people at the more famed spot.

7
Title:  7
Description:  As you can see, no more sun. To give a quick rundown of how wrong everything went tonight: G72 hit a bicyclist in Winona, Amtrak was running 30 minutes late, the sun went down before even Amtrak did show, and CP 805 with the INRD 4005 had to take 2nd to Amtrak because otherwise Amtrak would be second out in the siding. And when 805 finally did get moving under darkness, they hit the detector at Frontenac and were then told to pull in and die.

The Kabosh
Title:  The Kabosh
Description:  INRD 4005 sits across the road at Frontenac East while the conductor gets a ride up to the West end where they will die. Couldn't make Hastings after hitting the detector with two stuck brakes, and that would put the last nail in the coffin for 805's miserable night.

Early AM Dresser
Title:  Early AM Dresser
Description:  A chase that would take too much typing to explain pays off at 0656 as the CP 6009 steps into the sunshine at Cardigan East. I literally grabbed by camera, locked the car, and ran all the way to this vantage point with no time to spare. I wasn't even set up before he rounded the corner, but scrambled with the settings and got a shot that I'm pretty pleased with. I guess the 6009 is "THEE" power for this train, its the third time I've shot it leading this year.
