Sailor's delight is predicted by the glowing orange sky, battle hardened GP9 7071 is reflected in a small puddle as the Conductor throws a switch to turn south and head home. Leaving the Guelph Junction railway, this weekend extra will head south on the old Fergus sub then turn west following the orange glow home for the night to Kitchener. Note to snake: my family was at *WAL MART* nearby and I chanced on the train that evening :) Guess what they were buying???

    The Pond Master hath spoken. :-)
    To get someone flipping a switch in the reflection is quite remarkable.

    Thank you – the thing is, it was also the only place I knew the train would stop so I could pull off a sharp photo, was shooting with my 50mm 1.8 fairly wide open at 1/30 … had to pray something was sharp

    Thanks Earl, Jason.

    Jason: I just checked my notes, this was in fact a 568. Not 540.

    Bruce those should be cars for Hunts in Preston. They were along for the ride as 568 brought them over from kitchener. Likely set off in xv yard for Mondays 542

    Even the boxcars were hunts cars… and 1 car for Gilllies.
