Trains and Such

Views From The Road

Chatter on my scanner told me that train 114 was being assembled in the CN Conrich Logistics yard, and would soon strike out northbound on the Three Hills sub.

Knowing where there was a sideroad that crossed over the track near HAASZ, I drove over to the crossing and quickly sent my push-up mast with camera up top for a look.

Train 114 can be seen down the track, although I should have selected a longer focal-length lens to zoom in more, as the train appears farther away than it actually was.

I thought I wouldn't bother to bring my camera down and change lens, as the train would soon come my way. Well wouldn't you know it, the waiting game began, and finally after a 1/2 hour, I called it done and moved on. As far as I know the train may still be there!
