Proof that even in this day and age, you can still be pleasantly surprised when you're trackside. This past Saturday, CN 527 had CN 8888/CN 5740 for power, so when I saw that CN 527 was working Pointe St-Charles Yard the next day, I figured I would go and shoot it again. Imagine my surprise when they called out 'GTW 5823' on the scanner. The sun even mostly popped out when it passed me. With both units facing east and no way to wye the power at Southwark, evidently the crew grabbed any westwards facing leader they could get.
