Comments on: OSR M-420(W)s 647 and 644 back off the north industrial spur with four hoppers. Their next task was to switch the south industrial spur, however CN 540 was on it. What to do? Walk to Tim Horton’s of course. I find Guelph horribly frustrating to navigate and lucked out with this shot. I had abandoned my OSR chase to go search for CN 540… finding CN 542 instead. After photographing 542 at Guelph Jct. I then found 540 on the Fergus Spur. Not finding anywhere to photograph 540 I gave up, got twisted around in the industrial area and found OSR again. You can plan all you want but sometimes the subjects you just happen upon end up being the best photos of the day. It was today! http://www.railpictures.ca The BEST Canadian photos on the Internet, eh? Mon, 25 May 2026 03:42:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Stephen C.

There was another guy, Craig, photographing the action also so you must have seen him. Thanks for the comments.

Rob I think I saw you ! 542 was reversing to Guelph Jct with 24 or so cars (cars first) just as OSR was leaving for PDI prolly an hour after this shot was taken.. when OSR finally got to leave. I drove by Swiss Chalet on the way back from Lunch and saw a 'fan getting ready to leave. Glad you came here - OSR's always great! CN - well at least they have a CN unit on 542 now :) What does the “C” stand for anyway?
