TRICK OR TREAT! Saturday marked the day of Halloween, and I was able to make my way east to visit a friend in Cobourg. Having arrived fairly early, I made my usual stop at the station in Port Hope. No longer than 5 minutes after my arrival, a horn marked the arrival of train 61 led by VIA 6427. I ran to the platform in front of the station to see it fly by on it's way to it's next station stop of Oshawa. Sadly after this train, I missed a westbound CN freight and the eastbound "J" train that was going to Brockville - where it would sever...one train to Ottawa, the other to Montreal. However, this was certainly a treat, to say the least - that started my day of unusual activity of photographing in this area.
