Railpictures.ca - Mike Molnar Photo: After a wild chase through Windsor I was finally able to get in front of 438 on this grey October afternoon. I was on CP when I heard 438 call in to get clearance to leave Van De Water. I was in front of it along the CASO and I was going to go for a shot of it coming off of the CASO and going onto the Pelton but I took too long trying to find a good spot and the train snuck up on me. I ended up getting stuck by it on Provincial Rd. at Walker. I then decided to follow it along Walker. It wasn’t hard getting in front again as I hit all of the green lights on Walker and CN only goes about 10-15mph on the Pelton. I was able to get him at the last crossing along the Pelton Spur which is Foster Ave. and even then I only beat him by about a minute. Train chasing in Windsor can be pretty challenging. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography
