Excitement at Brantford in the days past was trainwatching at the station around the dinner hour. So much action. The westbound #75 was often a highlight. Previous years it was quite often an ABBA set, but even these two 'A's back to back made for a glorious scene.  Power is VIA 6787 and 6541, with a typical long train of the day. Surprisingly, both these units are still alive. The 6787 is #72 at Napa Valley (CA)  and 6541 is now living a new life as CP 1401.

  1. Brantford Train Watching in the past. You will make the younger members envious of what used to be.

  2. I saw two GEVO’s on a CN train at lunch today….
