    Nice. I think by this point the head end has crested the hill and the gang is getting up to track speed. A great spot for a photo, but don’t even attempt to ‘chase’ – it’s futile. You won’t get ahead.

    Thanks! You would have to get them in KW, that’s if you really wanted to put some KMs on your vehicle haha

    No thanks, not for me. For someone out of town – yes, that’s about what you can do. You can probably get them ONCE west of Georgetown, ONCE west of Guelph (but NOT Guelph – and even this is highly dependent on traffic) and of course if they work Kitchener, then at Kitchener.

    I learned this a long time ago when chasing CN re-routes on GEXR in 2003. It was difficult to say the least. Now I just stake a photo, get the shot, and move on.

    It’s even harder if you take a bus. I had to plan this in advance :)
