Not a lot of action today but some interesting sightings nonetheless including a surprise visitor in the grass.
As much as I don't like snakes,this Gartner snake is harmless and was probably more frightened of me as it slithered off quickly
A first time sighting occured at Baview as a trio of CN's newest ES44AC's were the power on eastbound train 382 including a very rare mid-train helper---these locomotives are commonly seen in western Canada so it was a real treat to see them in my hometown
