It doesn't look like you had anymore sun than I did today, but you made a good catch and had a chance to get out.

The good news is that the 2262 is still at Kinnear Yard---the bad news is that I still can't get some good unobstructed pictures

Ghosts from the past---unfortunately all the items in this photo are just fond memories---the picture of the diesel,turntable and the roundhouse was taken at the Hamilton TH&B engine facililites on Chatham St. back in the early 80's---even the TH&B Railway no longer exists.

It was one of the nicer days today (only minus 5 celsius) and with another snow advisory for tomorrow,I thought I'd take a run out to Bayview.I didn't stay long but caught this eastbound freight with a Central Illinois SD70 in the 3 unit consist.

Nice to see that "the hackey" hasn't carried you away completely.
That photo is the first time I noticed the switch heaters - at least they're getting used this winter.

CP Rail GP38-2 #3015 in the "Pac man" paint scheme waits for her next assignment at Hamilton's Kinnear Yard.
Over at Wentworth St.,SD40-2 #5946 leads a container train west through the city.
A little later another freight train is spotted on Lawrence Rd. heading east

Hey..!! You live in train-watcher's paradise..!! I'm lucky to hear the whistle way off in the distance at night as the little S-2 switches out a couple of cars out of the port of Brownsville...
All that snow reminds me of my days in Wisconsin.... :cry:
Keep up the good work..!!
