It's all wide open spaces now at the old metal recycle industry on Rusholme Road, with the removal of the final pieces of the huge blue warehouse that loomed for years over this scene. Now a lumber storage yard, and home to a handful of doubtbul diesels. |

CN 3911 |
| Description: |
Just one train today, but an unusual CN Train 562. After catching tugboat SARAH DANN on the canal I scooted over to Port Robinson, expecting some yard action. But the train was just leaving the yard, headed for Welland via the CP connector track. The chase was on! It was a really long train, on the way out, but on the way back, it was just the engine running light - and long-hood forward. |

Here comes Train 562 again - but much to my surprise it wasn't bringing any cars back from Welland, so I ended up with a few pics of this engine running solo back to Port Robinson yard. |

Two hours later, after chasing 3 ships on the canal, I was back at the yard, where patience paid off. I lingered just a little bit longer, after seeing the train push way back into the yard, and sure enough it came up close, but not all the way to the crossing at Canby Street - but close enough for me to snag a few pics. Unfortunately, I was unable to get close enough to identify the trailing locomotives. |

My day just wouldn't be complete without a quick pass by CN Port Robinson yard - always in the hope that I am about to catch Train 562 in action, or 531 ready to depart. Today, I got neither. I did get Train 562 resting at the signal rack without a crew. |

I'm just 5 minutes from my favourite morning ship photo spot, in plenty of time for the tankship ALGONOVA that has just left Lock 7. But not today. Extra-long CN Train 422 caught me at the crossing. Normally this doesn't bother me one bit, but today, I'm on schedule to meet up with the ALGONOVA, and will not get there in time. It'll be a good ten minutes before this heavily-loaded mixed freight train has cleared the crossing. |

Almost identical, somewhat accidental, CP train encounter as yesterday. I was headed for Brookfield to check to see if there was a green signal on the CP connector track. But before I even got there, the signal lamps came on at Brookfield Road crossing, forcing me to make a quick u-turn, and head back to Miller Road for a nice pic in the sunshine. And I got there just in time. |
