With the Remote Control Operator (RCO) riding the point, Remote Control Locomotives (RCL) CN 7502 and CN 4776 shove twelve loaded hoppers into Oakville Yard, after spotting the loads the crew will retrieve a cut of empties and return to Ash Grove Mississauga Cement Plant at the east end of the St. Lawrence Cement Lead. It will be a cold ride on the side ladder on the lead hopper for the 4 miles back to the cement plant.

    What time did they head down to the cement plant?

    Matthew : I’m not sure about the first trip. The second trip departed the Yard about 1115h, they made a move west onto Track 2 at Oakville Yard, then got the light eastward to 9th Line and onto the Cement Lead. I saw the movement again at Ford Drive on the Cement Lead at 1146h.
