Comments on: CN 566 had timed out the night before, and sat in Elmira all day on Tuesday. I know a number of people took advantage of this and went to grab some shots of it during the day. I wasn’t able to make it during the day on account of work, so figured I could at least go there and get some night shots as this is a location I had been curious to see for some time, but had yet to check out. I talked to a plant employee at Lanxess before taking shots just so they wouldn’t wonder why I was lurking in the parking lot at night, and then had fun trying some different exposure settings for around half an hour in total before calling it a night. The three lights in the background proved to be a bit of a challenge for the 50mm lens (showing a bit of flare in other locations in the image), so I switched over to the 55-250 which for whatever reason handled it better. This was taken around 2130. http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh?

Thank you for taking the time and being so patient to capture this shot. James, you did it again, beautiful night shot, and the first time I have seen a picture of post-GEXR CN activity in Elmira.

Not much in the way of interesting nights shots here until midnight or so. I was home and in bed by 11pm for this one. Not too bad. At least I didn't have to stake out the actual run of 566, which yes, I would consider to be some serious dedication haha. :) @Jason, thanks! I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that it will. I recall a shot from Kevin Flood earlier of a 566 somewhere on the Waterloo Spur that was unable to make it back within the window. @Keith, I’ve been out way later even just in Hamilton.
