568 departed Kitchener for Stratford mid-afternoon with 57 cars in tow, reminding the RTC a couple of times that they had a big train. They worked the yard in Stratford for quite a while, before eventually departing with 20 or so potash loads for Belton. At Belton they'd lift about the same amount of empties before spotting their loads, making their train as long as the loop track there in the process. The boxes pictured are for HCL in London, but all were left in Stratford for the time being.

  1. Nice lighting on a day where the sun would have been hard to get on them.
