3 in 1, nice. Do you happen to know what train 9482 9675 and 2427 departed on? Went EB through Guelph not too long after 4pm
X431 re-crewed at Kitchener and went back east. I’m assuming it’s just a re-crew – 330/331 changes crews and symbol does not change..
Nice three way meet Jason!
I did not realize that 431 left a train on the Halton – I heard they sent a unit light power ex Mac. Must have lifted where – norval?
Wow. That’s about 4 times the number of locomotives that I even saw on one day in Kitchener. And I was there from 1973 to 1984!
Since the takeover it seems busier at Kitchener. I question the 4-axle power on A431. I also heard CN is a bit power short, so maybe that explains it. So far, A431 has been having a lot of issues with making that grade. Sure makes things more interesting though.
Are they still tying units up at Kitchener station?
No. That track is now severed.
Thank you for all the comments Host, Alex, Steve and Kevin.
Yes, I believe they stayed X431 as well as that would have been the train getting re-crewed. The taxi from Toronto showed-up just before 15:00 and the guy had a hard time tracking down the crew as they went down to the east end of the yard to get to their train after putting all the units together. Another taxi must have come with a fresh crew from Toronto after 15:30 to take it back to MacMillan yard.
