'When it rains, it pours" It's aways the case, if the weather is bad then all the interesting power will show up. Even though it was pouring I didn't want to give up the opportunity to photograph one of the only two D&H GP38s left in their old owners paint. Five minutes after showing up, a westbound with a UP SD70ace trailing arrived, and stopped to drop off a bad order car. Ten minutes later train 147 arrived and had to wait for the other trains power to return to its train before it could cross over to the south track, clearing the north track for a pair of eastbound clearing Guelph Junction. Not bad for a railroad that almost always seems to run most trains under the cover of darkness.

    Wow, great days catch! I see a lot of CP trains just going about my routines of the day that always seen to take place along the Galt. Still do this day I have yet to see anything at Guleph Jct. Goes to show you when you head out to railfan it’s the polar opposite! But apparently not for you on this fine day!
