"3393east, authorized to work between mile 51 and mile 49 Guelph Sub." Hearing this on the scanner, I headed for the tracks. 432 arrived at Guelph at 0810 with 13 cars behind the "SD-trio." 12 cars in XW20, left by 582 (QGRY 2500) were added to the rear. The majority of the time was spent releasing a hand brake which was set too tight. The cars were hauled out of XW20, and the entire crew went to the rear to release the stubborn brake.While the brake is released, 3393 reflects upon the day's tasks.Finally, at 0852, 432 departed for CN Mac Yard. The 9600 horse power of the 3 veteran locomotives hauled the 25 cars out of Guelph, for point east.

    Boys boys boys, no need to get your knickers in a knot. Corrections are always welcome and I don’t see any negativity in what RLK2211 has been saying, it’s just information.

    Corrections add to the accuracy, compliments are always welcome.
