With the sky above a sea of grey clouds I decided that shooting from what is typically the wrong side of the tracks for a change was in order. I like the open shot on Acton's southeast side, but unfortunately it is a cloudy day shot only. Not long after I arrived train #431horn was sounding for a nearby crossing and of course as the train neared the clouds separated for a few minutes putting me on the wrong side of a sucker hole, although it certainly brightened up what remained of the areas fall colours. Today's train had a slug set from sister road St. Lawrence & atlantic, the badly needed power in the form of a GP40X and slug converted from a GP40 will fill the void while the GEXR waits on more replacement power.
