Thanks Bruce and Charlie.I have to admit I was very pleased to catch those new GE ES44AC units on train 422 this morning.On Sunday night I was looking at another train web-site and someone had posted the message that these locomotives had just arrived in Fort Erie Ontario and were scheduled to continue their journey eastward the next morning on train 422 which is a regular freight that passes through Hamilton---the train usually runs through Bayview between 9AM-12 noon---I was at Bayview at 8AM.It was a good morning with 3 passenger trains and a couple of freights while I waited for the big catch---finally at 11:30 train 422 came slowly out of Hamilton.Maybe the engineer saw the crazy railfanner standing in the cold because the train passed me at a very low speed---I was able to snap a shot of all eight GE's as it crept past.
