After watching L554 CN 4798 CN 4716 CN 9547 head out with light power for the Cement Lead I knew I wouldn't have to wait long for the return move. Thanks to the RTC for lining L554 onto T2 at 9th Line so I could get the better angle from the southwest side of Chartwell Road. With 17 loads trailing L554 would head west clear of Signal 208T2 at Oakville Yard, wait for a westbound GO to pass before getting a light eastward onto the Service Track into the yard.

    Great shot. Would love to see them crossing Chartwell.

    Thanks for your comments, and to LP for his assistance. Up until recently I was able to shoot over the chain link fence and catch westward movements over the crossing, however Metrolinx felt they needed a better and higher fence. I now need a higher perch.

    There’s a couple guys that bring around small stepladders and stackable milk crates for that sort of thing.
