One of my all-time favorites - a Draper Taper Dash-8 - running solo on today's Train 531 out of Port Robinson. Note th` oscillating headlights that the engineer has activated to accompany some fine horn-blowing, bell-ringing, and a friendly wave, on the roll-by. |

In the "what's wrong with this picture" category I offer this unusual sight - CN 3026 leading a CP mixed freighter from the USA into Canada at Fort Erie. I can only speculate that CP is a little starved for power right now, and have borrowed the CN unit for the interim. |

CP 9640 |
Description: |
My second entry in the "Catch of the Year for 2018 - in January" category, is this pairing of sister GE AC4400CW's - dropping off cars on the rarely used Stevensville spur. This was once the CP mainline to Fort Erie and the USA border, but was closed off east of Stevensville years ago, when the Brookfield Wye connector track was installed, allowing CP trains to veer onto the CN main. Even the brakeman joked with me about this unusual sighting: I have crossed this track almost daily since I moved to the Niagara Region just over a year ago - and this is the first time I have ever seen a train movement on this spur - now used only for storage as necessary. |

CN 3026 |
Description: |
It's rare that I see only CP trains in my daily train chases, but today is one of those days. After the totally unexpected CP encounter on the rarely used Stevensville spur, it was down to Fort Erie for a little experiment. As the trains head into Canada, you can see the headlights on the approach to the International Bridge. Is there enough time after seeing the train to hop in the car, drive west to Central Avenue, park the car, hop out and run out onto the middle of the Central Avenue overpass before the train passes underneath??? The answer is a resounding YES - as I caught - once again - this unusual pairing of locomotives CN 3026 and CP 8813 (see my January 14th pics) on a CP mixed freighter - this time from the bridge. |

I think I got a big chunk of Buffalo NY in this pic looking East over the Niagara River from the new Central Avenue bridge in Fort Erie. |

After a short chase, and with the train really picking up speed after leaving Fort Erie, I hopped from the car just in time for some quick pics at Ridgemount Road crossing. |

CSX 958 |
Description: |
On my way to the Buffalo Museum of History (for my 65th Birthday) there just had to be a short detour to the AMTRAK station in Buffalo/Depew to catch some CSX action just east of Frontier Yard. And it was nice to meet up with a pair of young railfans - who were able to fill me in on the local train routine and schedules on this, my first visit to the area. Serves me right for not being prepared, I missed an inbound mixed freighter just as I arrived and was taking my time getting out of the car. But not long after was this eastbound intermodal heading out of the yard. |

It was a long wait in the bitter cold for Train 531 today, but it finally showed up about 2 hours later than usual - with just a shred of late-afternoon sunlight left. |

Bonus on today's Train 531 is ex UP Dash-8 locomotive. We don't see these around here very often, so it was a nice surprise. |
