I had some company this morning when I arrived at one of my favourite spots at Laking Gardens but I'm sure this turkey vulture was more interested in the carcass of a racoon that lay on the tracks below that checking out the train action.I'm glad the bird didn't stick around as it was perched at a good vantage point for catching the downbound freight that rounded the bend shortly after I arrived.Later the action continued as I caught the tail end of a CP train heading into Hamilton as a CN freight headed through Hamilton West.I was able to catch the CP freight as it headed east through Kinnear Yard with a Norfolk Southern locomotive in the consist---not a Heritage unit but I was happy with this catch.
