CP 8832
Title:  CP 8832
Description:  Just around the corner from the Trillium yard I found Train 247 stopped. As I got out to take a shot, the two locomotives broke away from the consist of autoracks. It didn't take me long to realize the light engine move would probably head up to the Hewitt Road crossing, and so I bolted over, and was rewarded with some timely sunshine as the engines switched onto the yard tracks before moving back.

TRRY 1859
Title:  TRRY 1859
Description:  I did catch up to Trillium's 3rd loco, #1859, at Pietz Road, with the whipping rains fortunately at my back. (Hard to keep rain off the camera lens if you're facing the wind. And raindrops on the camera lens are a royal pain).

CN 109604
Title:  CN 109604
Description:  First stop today was at the Trillium Railways yard to see which locos were working. On one of the storage tracks sits this long string of expired grain hoppers. Anyone who has ever been stuck at a railway crossing has seen one of these familiar CANADA Wheat Board grain hoppers, in various colors, with several slightly different logos, all approaching 50 years old - and now nicely lined up to be scrapped.

I figured this would be my last pics of the day, but I decided to head north again to Lock 7, just missed the ship leaving the Lock, so headed south to Allanburg lift bridge for some fine sunset pics of cargo ship CSL ASSINIBOINE.
