I wasn’t planning on Railfanning on Father’s Day, but some things get you off your butt :) The chance to shoot a trio of Union Pacific units in Ontario is a pretty good reason especially if the power isn’t all GE built GEVO’s. Hornby East isn’t the most photogenic location but when shooting eastbounds in the afternoon you have to pick your locations wisely. Train DIM016 is an empty wind turbine train out of Texas and is most likely returning the empty flats to Quebec. It’s interesting that three units were assigned to the train considering that one unit would have been more then enough power.
