TR 108 is on its way back to Welded Tube after retrieving 1 empty pipe car from CN Southern Yard. Off to the left in the trees is an old stone mile-marker indicating 15 Miles to Fort Erie; apart of the former CASO that used to run along this right of way.

Just as CP 237 began emerging from the Townline Tunnel towards Welland Yard, I had noticed Trillium on the horn for a nearby crossing. Sure enough, an over and under scenario occurs along the tunnel cut. 1859 taking a single tanker to the Verbio industry just down the tracks.

After switching out Frames with Modatek and Gons from Karmax on the Glass Lead, CN L551 re-enters the mainline and continues eastward on the Halton Sub North track just past Milbase to switch out a few boxcars with Westrock (seen just behind the tail end of the train). Once completed, they continue eastward (seen in photo) to Spot loaded tanks and pull empty’s from Recochem before running around their train and returning to Aldershot after dark. The switch into Whirlpool Canada (switch seen on the south track in the photo’s foreground) has been clamped for the main as they do not receive cars anymore.

These days, Rusholme Siding usually only sees storage cars or any trains entering feeder at the North crossovers so this was something I have been meaning to catch for quite some time.

The previous day, 238 and 236 were both in the yard when they encountered an issue with a tree over the rails. The time taken to remove the tree and inspect the track to ensure it was safe enough to use, also took the time that CN had planned for both of these trains to show up on their side. By the time both these trains were ready to blast off to the states, CN wouldn't take them due to the fact CSX wouldn't take them. CN doesn't want these trains tied up at Fort Erie.

With room for only one train at Welland, the yardmaster had decided that 236 would tie down on the CASO for the night and 238 would make their way down to Rusholme Siding for the night since there was no cars in storage at this time. The next day, as seen in the photo above, 238 began shoving their train up through the North Crossovers and back into the yard before finally taking of for the border sometime after.

After seeing CN L562 lined out of Port Robinson only as far as Yager, I already knew what could possibly be up. As the train approached Southern Yard with a Welded Tube car, some other cars for CP and 1 Tank of Sulpher Dioxide on the tail, I knew exactly what the next steps were. The remaining cars were dropped and the One tank of O2S was the only car left on the train. The crew then called to "Pass Stop Signal 162 at Yager and Proceed via Humberstone Spur Track". The crew reversed the switch for the Spur and began their journey down for the lone industry in Port Colborne, Vale. A rare movement made even more rare considering Vale does not take Chlorine like they used to. Here they are seen passing under Highway 140 at Yager West beginning their trip down. They would return light power to Port Robinson.

Usually the time that trillium crews go off duty, I found myself chasing their JLCX leaser all throughout Port Colborne. Hearing the horn after getting a photoshoot with CN 562 prompted me to go and find them. Expecting them to be returning from all of their jobs, off to Port Colborne they go. The first stop was Ceres Global (The former Robin Hood flour mill) with its remains still painted along the side of the structure. They shove one hopper into the mill (pictured here) before continuing to the Port Colborne grain terminal on the government spur; approximately 2 miles down the line from this location to retrieve 4 hoppers.

The Montrose Run... definitely a fun one. Here we see CP TE21 with 3004 and 7307 heading up the former CP Hamilton Subdivision (Now the Montrose Sub) on Grassy Brook Road running towards Niagara falls with 1 hopper car for one of the two businesses on the CP Chippawa Industrial Spur which was once part of the Michigan Central which had ran between Niagara on the Lake and Fort Erie. Trains used to frequent this line much more than they do now. Now you can expect to see just 2 trains a week on this line with small loads for industries in Niagara Falls.

CP 650 charges up the Hornby dip with a Foreign Mexican visitor of Ferromex 4054 bringing up the rear of the train as DPU. Definitely one of the most uncommon types of power in this area.
