CP 246, (CP 8538), sits waiting for a work crew to finish a job on the rail on the Hamilton sub, while one of CP 234's crew walks back to his train as it sits waiting for CP 143 to come up from Milton. This made for a nice meet shot twice within 10 minutes.

    Sounds like lady luck was with you twice today.
    Great shot and waiting for the other one.

    Great shot, but begs the question why can’t 234 go down the hill while 143 comes up? 246 couldn’t pull far enough ahead to clear the crossover?

    There was a foreman occupying the North track so the trains were running down the south.
