Having to take my wife and daughter to Woodstock for the Windsor train I managed to get there an hour early just as a thunderstorm hit!! I heard on the scanner that a train was on it's way. I rushed to the bridge at the west end of the station to keep my camera dry just as the train arrived . CN5451 &CN8001 were heading east with a train of coil cars and tankers. A short train speeding through the station. By the time I got back to the car I was soaked!

    Believe it or not, this was CN 330. A very early 330 at that also. He was lit up at Brantford at 1:30, I didn’t get to see him since I had to go back to work but should be a good train to catch tomorrow on 331!

    Did you see the previous eastbound an hour earlier. I was approaching the crossing near the station in Woodstock and couldn’t catch the numbers?
